Nature without learning is like a blind man learning without Nature, like a maimed one practice without both, incomplete. As in agriculture a good soil is first sought for, then a skilful husbandman, and then good seed in the same way nature corresponds to the soil, the teacher to the husbandman, precepts and instruction to the seed.
Plutarch

Jamie Redknapp

The skilful employer of men will employ the wise man, the brave man, the covetous man, and the stupid man.
Sun Tzu
Image
The danger that keeps me just a little frightened with every book I write, however, is that I'll overreach myself once too often and try to write a story that I'm just plain not talented or skilful enough to write. That's the dilemma every storyteller faces. It is painful to fail. But it is far sadder when a storyteller stops wanting to try.
Orson Scott Card
Image

George Biddell Airy
Image
Pity! Religion has so seldom found A skilful guide into poetic ground! The flowers would spring where'er she deign'd to stray And every muse attend her in her way.
William Cowper
Image
The love of spectacles was the taste, or rather passion, of the Syrians: the most skilful artists were procured form the adjacent cities a considerable share of the revenue was devoted to the public amusements and the magnificence of the games of the theatre and circus was considered as the happiness, and as the glory, of Antioch.
