The steam-engine I call fire-demon and great; but it is nothing to the invention of fire.
Thomas CarlyleThe errors of a wise man are literally more instructive than the truths of a fool. The wise man travels in lofty, far-seeing regions; the fool in low-lying, high-fenced lanes; retracing the footsteps of the former, to discover where he diviated, whole provinces of the universe are laid open to us; in the path of the latter, granting even that he has not deviated at all, little is laid open to us but two wheel-ruts and two hedges.
Thomas CarlyleAt worst, is not this an unjust world, full of nothing but beasts of prey, four-footed or two-footed?
