Solely over one man therein thou hast quite absolute control. Him redeem, him make honest  (Thomas Carlyle Quotes) What gained we, little moth? Thy ashes, thy one brief parting pang may show: and withering thoughts for soul that dashes, from deep to deep, are but a death more slow  (Thomas Carlyle Quotes) The healthy know not of their health, but only the sick: this is the physician’s aphorism, and applicable in a far wider sense than he gives it  (Thomas Carlyle Quotes) In this world there is one godlike thing, the essence of all that ever was or ever will be of godlike in this world, the veneration done to human worth by the hearts of men  (Thomas Carlyle Quotes) There is in it a placid inexhaustibility, a calm, vicious infinitude, which will baffle even the gods  (Thomas Carlyle Quotes) A man protesting against error is on the way towards uniting himself with all men that believe in truth  (Thomas Carlyle Quotes) In our wide world there is but one altogether fatal personage, the dunce, he that speaks irrationally, that sees not, and yet thinks he sees  (Thomas Carlyle Quotes) The modern majesty consists in work.
