"Man is a tool-using animal. Weak in himself and of small stature, he stands on half square foot, has to straddle out his legs lest the very winds supplant him. Never the less he can use tools, can devise tools; with these the granite mountain melts into light dust before him; seas his smooth highway, winds and fire his unwearying steeds. Nowhere do you find him without tools. Without tools he is nothing, with tools he is all." Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881)
