Thomas Carlyle Quotes

Let one who wants to move and convince others, first be convinced and moved themselves. If a person speaks with genuine earnestness the thoughts, the emotion and the actual condition of their own heart, others will listen because we all are knit together by the tie of sympathy.

• Write, if you must; not otherwise. Do not write, if you can earn a fair living at teaching or dressmaking, at electricity or hod-carrying.

It is more likely to be dying by your pen; despairing by your pen; burying hope and heart and youth and courage in your ink-stand.
