Great is wisdom; infinite is the value of wisdom. It cannot be exaggerated; it is the highest achievement of man.
Thomas CarlyleSkepticism . . . is not intellectual only it is moral also, a chronic atrophy and disease of the whole soul.
Thomas CarlyleThe situation that has not its duty, its ideal, was never yet occupied by man. Yes, here, in this poor, miserable, hampered, despicable actual, wherein thou even now standest, here or nowhere is thy ideal; work it out therefrom, and, working, believe, live, be free. Fool! the ideal is in thyself.
Thomas Carlyle
