Thomas Carlyle
Philosophy dwells aloft in the Temple of Science, the divinity of its inmost shrine her dictates descend among men, but she herself descends not : whoso would behold her must climb with long and laborious effort, nay, still linger in the forecourt, till manifold trial have proved him worthy of admission into the interior solemnities.
Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
When new turns of behavior cease to appear in the life of the individual, its behavior ceases to be intelligent.
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
Battles, in these ages, are transacted by mechanism with the slightest possible development of human individuality or spontaneity men now even die, and kill one another, in an artificial manner.
Thomas Carlyle
Nature alone is antique, and the oldest art a mushroom.
Thomas Carlyle
