“Read, read, read. Read everything - trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it is good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out the window.”
William Faulkner
“Any jackass can kick down a barn, but it takes a good carpenter to build one”
Sam Rayburn
“A jackass can kick a barn down, but it takes a carpenter to build one”
“The carpenter stretcheth out his rule; he marketh it out with a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the house.”
Bible
“It took 16,000 bricks. I worked with my grandfather, who was a bricklayer and carpenter. We also relied on books from the library for the heating, wiring and plumbing.”
William Long
“He's a hard working carpenter, father and husband. Just because he rented a garage studio apartment doesn't make him liable for the actions of his tenants.”

“If A.J. flies off the board and a couple of other linebackers fly off the board, then, (Carpenter has) a shot to get picked in the first round. If they don't, then he's certainly going to be a second-rounder. But after draft day, it doesn't really matter. All that's thrown out the window, and he's going to have the opportunity to play and be a contributor somewhere.”
Chris Spielman
“That was vintage Carpenter. He had first and second, the middle of the lineup, and he gets out of it. That's what he does.”
Tony La Russa
“We had some pretty good at-bats off [Carpenter]. We just couldn't find any holes. That's the way it goes sometimes. We were able to get some guys on but weren't able to get them in early. We did some little things right, we got some guys on, we got some walks. We take it one batter at a time and everybody tries to stay within their own limitations. We did that, we just didn't get the big hit to get them in.”
Craig Biggio
“If Carpenter hadn't been out there, it might have been easier. He got in a couple of jams, and he got out of them. That's why he's a 19-game winner.”
