The Hand

Something to ponder;

A child's intelligence can develop to a certain level without the help of his hand; But if it develops with his hand, then the level it reaches is higher, and the child's character is stronger.

The hands are the instruments of man's intelligence.

We should never give to the brain more than we give to the hand

(Maria Montessori, Absorbent Mind)
