Thomas Carlyle
If there be not a religious element in the relations of men, such relations are miserable and doomed to ruin.
Thomas Carlyle
I came hither [Craigenputtoch] solely with the design to simplify my way of life and to secure the independence through which I could be enabled to remain true to myself.
Thomas Carlyle
Biography is the only true history.
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
History is a great dust heap.
Thomas Carlyle
One monster there is in the world, the idle man.
Thomas Carlyle
