Dishonesty is the raw material not of quacks only, but also in great part dupes.

Let him who gropes painfully in darkness or uncertain light, and prays vehemently that the dawn may ripen into day, lay this precept well to heart: 'Do the duty which lies nearest to thee,' which thou know to be a duty! Thy second duty will already have become clearer.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Our works are the mirror wherein the spirit first sees its natural lineaments. Hence, too, the folly of that impossible precept, Know theyself; till it be translated into this partially possible one, know what thou canst work at.

History after all is the true poetry.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Statistics, one may hope, will...

Statistics, one may hope, will improve gradually, and become good for something. Meanwhile, it is to be feared the crabbed satirist was partly right, as things go: 'A judicious man,' says he, 'looks at Statistics, not to get knowledge, but to save himself from having ignorance foisted on him.'

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

History, as it lies at the roo...

History, as it lies at the root of all science, is also the first distinct product of man's spiritual nature, his earliest expression of what may be called thought.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Science has done much for us; ...

Science has done much for us; but it is a poor science that would hide from us the great deep sacred infinitude of Nescience, on which all science swims as a mere superficial film.
