Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
A false man found a religion? Why, a false man cannot build a brick house!
Thomas Carlyle
The greatest mistake is to imagine that we never err.
Thomas Carlyle
The fine arts once divorcing themselves from truth are quite certain to fall mad, if they do not die.
Thomas Carlyle
Wise man was he who counselled that speculation should have free course, and look fearlessly towards all the thirty-two points of the compass, whithersoever and howsoever it listed.
Thomas Carlyle

Not what I have, but what I do is my kingdom.
Thomas Carlyle
