Additional quotes by Thomas Carlyle

The tragedy of life is not so much what
men suffer, but rather what they miss.

There is no heroic poem in the world but is at bottom a biography, the life of a man; also, it may be said, there is no life of a man, faithfully recorded, but is a heroic poem of its sort, rhymed or unrhymed.

Have a purpose in life, and having it, throw into your work such strength of mind and muscle as God has given you.
