Thomas Carlyle
  • Endurance is patience concentrated.

  • It is a vain hope to make people happy by politics.

  • The eye sees what it brings the power to see.

  • Wondrous is the strength of cheerfulness, and its power of endurance - the cheerful man will do more in the same time, will do it better, will preserve it longer, than the sad or sullen.

  • Wonder is the basis of worship.
