-
A man who works with his hands is a laborer; a man who works
with his hands and his brain is a craftsman;
but a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart
is an artist.
- Louis Nizer, Between You and Me, Beechurst Press, 1948.
There is an aphorism about a farmer who before sunrise on a cold and misty morning, saw a huge beast on a distant hill. He seized his rifle and walked cautiously toward the ogre to head off an attack on his family. When he got nearer, he was relieved to find that the beast was only a small bear. He approached more confidently and when he was within a few hundred yards the distorting haze had lifted sufficiently so that he could recognize the figure as only that of a man. Lowering his rifle, he walked toward the stranger and discovered he was his brother.
- Louis Nizer, My Life in Court (1961), p. 443.
