Quote by Daniel Webster
They are usually denominated labor-saving machines, but it would be more just to call them labor-doing machines.
Summary
This quote emphasizes the idea that machines should not be seen as simply saving labor, but rather as machines capable of performing tasks or doing work that would otherwise be carried out by humans. Instead of solely reducing the amount of labor required, it suggests recognizing machines as capable of actively performing tasks, therefore acknowledging their significance and potential.
