Jack of all trades, master of none — but what a jack! … In the end he was a disappointed man … He wanted to be a great playwright or a great author. He never quite made that.
Peter Ustinov
The establishment of any new manufacture, of any new branch of commerce, or any new practice in agriculture, is always a speculation, from which the projector promises himself extraordinary profits. These profits sometimes are very great, and sometimes, more frequently, perhaps, they are quite otherwise; but in general they bear no regular proportion to those of other older trades in the neighbourhood. If the project succeeds, they are commonly at first very high. When the trade or practice becomes thoroughly established and well known, the competition reduces them to the level of other trades.
Adam Smith
When war becomes a trade, it benefits, like all other trades, from the division of labour.
Jean-Baptiste Say
That biological jack-of-all-trades called ecologist tries to be and do all these things. Needless to say, he does not succeed.
Aldo Leopold
The trade of critic, in literature, music, and the drama, is the most degraded of all trades.
