Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
What I loved in the man was his health, his unity with himself all people and all things seemed to find their quite peaceable adjustment with him, not a proud domineering one, as after doubtful contest, but a spontaneous-looking peaceable, even humble one.
Thomas Carlyle
A noble book! all men's book!
Thomas Carlyle
Thought once awakened does not again slumber unfolds itself into a System of Thought grows, in man after man, generation after generation, - till its full stature is reached, and such System of Thought can grow no farther, but must give place to another.
Thomas Carlyle
The best effect of any book is that it excites the reader to self activity.
Thomas Carlyle
