Nature is the time-vesture of God that reveals Him to the wise, and hides him from the foolish.
Thomas CarlyleThe old cathedrals are good, but the great blue dome that hangs over everything is better.
Thomas CarlyleWealth of a man is the number of things which he loves and blesses which he is loved and blessed by.
Thomas CarlyleAll that a university or final highest school. can do for us is still but what the first school began doing--teach us to read. We learn to read in various languages, in various sciences; we learn the alphabet and letters of all manner of books. But the place where we are to get knowledge, even theoretic knowledge, is the books themselves. It depends on what we read, after all manner of professors have done their best for us. The true university of these days is a collection of books.
