More quotes by Thomas Carlyle
Speech is human, silence is divine, yet also brutish and dead: therefore we must learn both arts.
No sadder proof can be given by a man of his own littleness than disbelief in great men.
The great law of culture is: Let each become all that he was created capable of being.

To sin by silence, when we should protest,
Makes cowards out of men.
Blessed is the man who, having nothing to say, abstains from giving us wordy evidence of the fact.
There are times when good words are to be left unsaid out of esteem for silence.
