Quote by Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881)

• Permanence, perseverance and persistence in spite of all obstacles, discouragements, and impossibilities: It is this, that in all things distinguishes the strong soul from the weak.

• Blessed is he who has found his work; let him ask no other blessedness.

• Do the duty which lieth nearest to thee! Thy second duty will already have become clearer.

• When the oak is felled the forest echoes with its fall, but a hundred acorns are sown silently by an unnoticed breeze.

• In private life I never knew anyone interfere with other people's disputes but he heartily repented of it.

• Under all speech that is good for anything there lies a silence that is better. Silence is deep as Eternity; speech is shallow as Time.
