matters, Agesilaus said: "I do not think that shoemaker a good
workman that makes a great shoe for a little foot."
Author: Agesilaus, the Great
About: Shoemaking
"Him that makes shoes go barefoot himself."
Author: Robert Burton
About: Shoemaking
"Ye tuneful cobblers! still your notes prolong,
Compose at once a slipper and a song;
So shall the fair your handiwork peruse,
Your sonnets sure shall please–perhaps your shoes."
Author: Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron)
About: Shoemaking
"I can tell where my own shoe pinches me."
Author: Cervantes (Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra)
About: Shoemaking
"The shoemaker makes a good shoe because he makes nothing else."
Author: Ralph Waldo Emerson
About: Shoemaking
"If you had taken off the shoe then, at length you would feel in
what part it pinched you.
[Lat., Si calceum induisses, tum demum sentires qua parte te
urgeret.]"
Author: Ralph Waldo Emerson
About: Shoemaking
"Let firm, well hammer'd soles protect thy feet
Through freezing snows, and rains, and soaking sleet;
Should the big last extend the shoe too wide,
Each stone will wrench the unwary step aside;
The sudden turn may stretch the swelling vein,
The cracking joint unhinge, or ankle sprain;
And when too short the modish shoes are worn,
You'll judge the seasons by your shooting corn."
Author: John Gay
About: Shoemaking
"I was not made of common calf,
Nor ever meant for country loon;
If with an axe I seem cut out,
The workman was no cobbling clown;
A good jack boot with double sole he made,
To roam the woods, or through the rivers wade."
Author: Giuseppe Giusti
About: Shoemaking
"Marry because you have drank with the king,
And the king hath so graciously pledged you,
You shall no more be called shoemakers.
But you and yours to the world's end
Shall be called the trade of the gentle craft."
Author: Giuseppe Giusti
