Thomas Carlyle
Long stormy spring-time, wet contentious April, winter chilling the lap of very May but at length the season of summer does come.
Thomas Carlyle
Speak not at all, in any wise, till you have somewhat to speak care not for the reward of your speaking, but simply and with undivided mind for the truth of your speaking.

A loving heart is the beginning of all knowledge.
Thomas Carlyle
The eye sees what it brings the power to see.
Thomas Carlyle
