More From Thomas Carlyle
- "Secrecy is the element of all goodness; even virtue, even beauty is mysterious."
- "True humor springs not more from the head than from the heart. It is not contempt; its essence is love. It issues not in laughter, but in still smiles, which lie far deeper."
- "To reform a world, to reform a nation, no wise man will undertake; and all but foolish men know, that the only solid, though a far slower reformation, is what each begins and perfects on himself."

- "I never – you know also one of the things that would save me for a man my age, it was not that easy to lose that much weight and fall down and look like something draped."― Karl Lagerfeld
- "I would always encourage people of any age not to be so quick to follow other people’s truths but to search and follow your own moral code and live by your own integrity, and mostly just be brave."― Jewel Kilcher
