Thomas Carlyle
Thirty millions, mostly fools.
Thomas Carlyle
No good book or good thing of any kind shows it best face at first. No the most common quality of in a true work of art that has excellence and depth, is that at first sight it produces a certain disappointment.
Thomas Carlyle
Do the duty which lies nearest to you, the second duty will then become clearer.
Thomas Carlyle
