Quotes:
“Discoveries and Inventions”
Beavers build houses; but they build them in nowise differently, or better, now than they did five thousand years ago…. Man is not the only animal who labors; but he is the only one who improves his workmanship. These improvements he effects by Discoveries and Inventions.
Abraham Lincoln, 1858 from the speech “Lecture on Discoveries and Inventions”
