Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
Terror itself, when once grown transcendental, becomes a kind of courage as frost sufficiently intense, according to the poet Milton, will burn.
Thomas Carlyle
Talk that does not end in any kind of action is better suppressed altogether.
Thomas Carlyle
The scandalous bronze-lacquer age of hungry animalisms, spiritual impotences, and mendacities, will have to run its course, till the pit follow it.
Thomas Carlyle
Every man has a coward and hero in his soul.
Thomas Carlyle
A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder.
Thomas Carlyle
