Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
Infinite is the help man can yield to man.
Thomas Carlyle
Friendship, in the old heroic sense of that term, no longer exists. It is in reality no longer expected or recognized as a virtue among men.
Thomas Carlyle
Trust not the heart of that man for whom old clothes are not venerable.
Thomas Carlyle
The mystical bond of brotherhood makes all men brothers.
Thomas Carlyle
The thing is not only to avoid error, but to attain immense masses of truth.
Thomas Carlyle
