No nobler feeling than this, of admiration for one higher than himself, dwells in the breast of man. It is to this hour, and at all hours, the vivifying influence in man's life.
Thomas Carlyle
Friendship, in the old heroic sense of that term, no longer exists. It is in reality no longer expected or recognized as a virtue among men.
Thomas Carlyle
What an enormous magnifier is tradition! How a thing grows in the human memory and in the human imagination, when love, worship, and all that lies in the human heart, is there to encourage it
Thomas Carlyle
Acorns are planted silently by some unnoticed breeze.
Thomas Carlyle
If time is precious, no book that will not improve by repeated readings deserves to be read at all.
Thomas Carlyle
Men do less than they ought, unless they do all they can.
Thomas Carlyle
