You can make even a parrot into a learned political economist - all he must learn are the two words "supply" and "demand."
Thomas CarlyleWondrous is the strength of cheerfulness, altogether past calculation its powers of endurance.
Thomas CarlyleWhy multiply instances? It is written, the Heavens and the Earth shall fade away like a Vesture; which indeed they are: the Time-vesture of the Eternal. Whatsoever sensibly exists, whatsoever represents Spirit to Spirit, is properly a Clothing, a suit of Raiment, put on for a season, and to be laid off. Thus in this one pregnant subject of CLOTHES, rightly understood, is included all that men have thought, dreamed, done, and been: the whole External Universe and what it holds is but Clothing; and the essence of all Science lies in the PHILOSOPHY OF CLOTHES.
Thomas Carlyle
