What is all Knowledge too but recorded Experience, and a product of History of which, therefore, Reasoning and Belief, no less than Action and Passion, are essential materials?
Thomas Carlyle
A very sea of thought neither calm nor clear, if you will, yet wherein the toughest pearl-diver may dive to his utmost depth, and return not only with sea-wreck but with true orients.
Thomas Carlyle
To a shower of gold most things are penetrable.
Thomas Carlyle
No iron chain, or outward force of any kind, could ever compel the soul of man to believe or to disbelieve: it is his own indefeasible light, that judgment of his he will reign and believe there by the grace of God alone!
Thomas Carlyle
The archenemy is the arch stupid!
Thomas Carlyle
