Thomas Carlyle
  • No great man lives in vain. The history of the world is but the biography of great men.

  • The old cathedrals are good, but the great blue dome that hangs over everything is better.

  • Silence is the element in which great things fashion themselves together.

  • I don't pretend to understand the Universe - it's a great deal bigger than I am.

  • The difference between Socrates and Jesus? The great conscious and the immeasurably great unconscious.
