Thomas Carlyle
Let one who wants to move and convince others, first be convinced and moved themselves. If a person speaks with genuine earnestness the thoughts, the emotion and the actual condition of their own heart, others will listen because we all are knit together by the tie of sympathy.
Thomas Carlyle
Experience is the best of school masters, only the school fees are heavy.
Thomas Carlyle
Thought is the parent of the deed.
