Skepticism, as I said, is not intellectual only; it is moral also; a chronic atrophy and disease of the whole soul. A man lives by believing something; not by debating and arguing about many things. A sad case for him when all that he can manage to believe is something he can button in his pocket, and with one or the other organ eat and digest! Lower than that he will not get.
Thomas CarlyleShow me the person you honor, for I know better by that the kind of person you are. For you show me what your idea of humanity is.
Thomas CarlyleEnjoying things which are pleasant; that is not the evil; it is the reducing of our moral self to slavery by them that is.
