the value of skill
"what is chiefly needed is skill rather than machinery. the flight of the buzzard and similar sailors is a convincing demonstration of the value of skill and the partial needlessness of motors. it is possible to fly without motors, but not without knowledge and skill. this i conceive to be fortunate, for man, by reason of his greater intellect, can more reasonably hope to equal birds in knowledge than to equal nature in the perfection of her machinery." /wilbur wright
