If there be no enemy there's no fight. If no fight, no victory and if no victory there is no crown.
Thomas Carlyle
A man--be the heavens ever praised!--is sufficient for himself.
Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
The goal of yesterday will be our starting-point to-morrow.
Thomas Carlyle
Of all the paths a man could strike into, there is, at any given moment, a best path .. A thing which, here and now, it were of all things wisest for him to do .. To find this path, and walk in it, is the one thing needful for him.
Thomas Carlyle
A witty statesman said, you might prove anything by figures.

Thomas Carlyle
My books are friends that never fail me.
Thomas Carlyle
Statistics, one may hope, will improve gradually, and become good for something. Meanwhile, it is to be feared the crabbed satirist was partly right, as things go: A judicious man, says he, looks at Statistics, not to get knowledge, but to save himself from having ignorance foisted on him.
Thomas Carlyle
A force as of madness in the hands of reason has done all that was ever done in the world.
Thomas Carlyle
It is the heart always that sees, before the head can see.
Thomas Carlyle
History shows that the majority of people that have done anything great have passed their youth in seclusion.
Thomas Carlyle
Necessity dispenseth with decorum.
Thomas Carlyle
In the huge mass of evil as it rolls and swells, there is ever some good working toward deliverance and triumph.
Thomas Carlyle
