New values have come in, new prospects of easy money are for ever enticing young men still further away, but it is doubtful they are happier for all that, for one can have easy money and an empty life, which is a poor substitute for creation. The wise ones will provide for it in their leisure and wood seems the natural medium for most of us. It is kind stuff to handle, it is creative work which keeps us close to first essentials by helping to provide necessities for the home, and it gives scope for every bit of skill and judgment we can develop, with always the promise of beauty in the end.
— The Woodworker, March 1951
HI Chris, where can i get these quotes that you have been posting lately? What is the "The Woodworker"?
Let me know if you can help me.
Thank you

Timeless quote. Thanks for sharing.
Loving these quotations. My only regret is not having a glowing, toasty fireplace to read them by.
The Woodworker: a series of books written by Hayward and published by the Evans Brothers. See this link for more info on Hayward and his work: http://www.woodworkinghistory.com/manual_author18.htm
Is there any resource to find these books? I am completely blown away by all these quotes and would love to read more.
