A quotable man - Thomas Carlyle

| No Comments

Lived in Scotland from December 4, 1795 - February 5, 1881
Here are just a few:

Man is a tool-using animal. Without tools he is nothing, with tools he is all.

No pressure, no diamonds.

A loving heart is the beginning of all knowledge.

And a few that are especially germaine today:

I do not believe in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.

Teach a parrot the terms 'supply and demand' and you've got an economist.

In the long-run every Government is the exact symbol of its People, with their wisdom and unwisdom; we have to say, Like People like Government.
