Thomas Carlyle
Speech is too often not the art of concealing thought, but of quite stifling and suspending thought, so that there is none to conceal.
Thomas Carlyle
Every noble crown is, and on Earth will forever be, a crown of thorns.
Thomas Carlyle
Happy season of childhood! Kind Nature, that art to all a bountiful mother that visitest the poor man's hut With auroral radiance and for thy nursling hast provided a soft swathing of love and infinite hope wherein he waxes and slumbers, danced round by sweetest dreams!
Thomas Carlyle
Nature admits no lie.
Thomas Carlyle
Lord Bacon could as easily have created the planets as he could have written Hamlet.
Thomas Carlyle
