"The fish hook is a very simple contrivance.  It is a great invention or a small one?  If the fish hooks
should all be suddenly destroyed, together with the ability to make them, would not the loss of the invention
be a greater calamity than any which
has befallen the world for a thousand years?
If so, were not the inventors of that instrument, and those who have improved it,real benefactors to the world? "
