To us also, through every star, through every blade of grass, is not God made visible if we will open our minds and our eyes. – Thomas Carlyle
Our main business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what clearly lies at hand. – Thomas Carlyle
The man without a purpose is like a ship without a rudder — waif, a nothing, a no man. Have a purpose in life, and, having it, throw such strength of mind and muscle into your work as God has given you. – Thomas Carlyle
Uncontrolled, the hunger and thirst after God may become an obstacle, cutting off the soul from what it desires. If a man would travel far along the mystic road, he must learn to desire God intensely but in stillness, passively and yet with all his heart and mind and strength. – Aldous Huxley
