A fundamental mistake to call vehemence and rigidity strength! A man is not strong who takes convulsion-fits; though six men cannot hold him then. He that can walk under the heaviest weight without staggering, he is the strong man . . . A man who cannot hold his peace, till the time come for speaking and acting, is no right man.
Thomas CarlyleOf all your troubles, great and small, the greatest are the ones that don't happen at all.
Thomas CarlyleTo know, to get into the truth of anything, is ever a mystic art, of which the best logic's can but babble on the surface.
