Thomas Carlyle
The most unhappy of all men is the man who cannot tell what he is going to do, who has got no work cut-out for him in the world, and does not go into it. For work is the grand cure of all the maladies and miseries that ever beset mankind,honest work, which you intend getting done.

Our grand business undoubtedly is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what clearly lies at hand.
Thomas Carlyle
Just in ratio as knowledge increases, faith diminishes.
Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
It is not a lucky word, this name impossible no good comes of those who have it so often in their mouths.
Thomas Carlyle
The eye sees what it brings the power to see.
Thomas Carlyle
Nothing ever happens but once in all this world. What I do now I do once for all. It is over and gone, with all its eternity of solemn meaning.
Thomas Carlyle
The thing is not only to avoid error, but to attain immense masses of truth.
Thomas Carlyle
