Thomas Carlyle
They wrong man greatly who say he is to be seduced by ease. Difficulty, abnegation, martyrdom, death are the allurements that act on the heart of man.
Thomas Carlyle
All work is as seed sown it grows and spreads, and sows itself anew.
Thomas Carlyle
In this world there is one godlike thing, the essence of all that was or ever will be of godlike in this world: the veneration done to Human Worth by the hearts of men.
Thomas Carlyle
All true work is sacred. In all true work, were it but true hand work, there is something of divineness. Labor, wide as the earth, has its summit in Heaven.

True friends, like ivy and the wall Both stand together, and together fall.
Thomas Carlyle
