Thomas Carlyle
What a wretched thing is all fame! A renown of the highest sort endures, say, for two thousand years. And then? Why, then, a fathomless eternity swallows it. Work for eternity not the meagre rhetorical eternity of the periodical critics, but for the real eternity wherein dwelleth the Divine.
Thomas Carlyle
Conviction is worthless unless it is converted into conduct.
Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle

Happy men are full of the present, for its bounty suffices them and wise men also, for its duties engage them. Our grand business undoubtedly is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what clearly lies at hand.
Thomas Carlyle
It is through symbols that man consciously or unconsciously lives, works and has his being.
Thomas Carlyle
The beginning of all wisdom is to look fixedly on clothes, or even with armed eyesight, till they become transparent.
Thomas Carlyle
