Embroidery Machine

Famous quotes containing the words embroidery and/or machine:

    “It is, indeed, at home that every man must be known by those who would make a just estimate either of his virtue or felicity; for smiles and embroidery are alike occasional, and the mind is often dressed for show in painted honour, and fictitious benevolence.”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    “But it is found that the machine unmans the user. What he gains in making cloth, he loses in general power. There should be a temperance in making cloth, as well as in eating.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
