"I’ve got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom." ― Thomas Carlyle Topic(s): Freedom Tags: ambition, great More From Thomas Carlyle "Oh, give us the man who sings at his work." "Foolish men imagine that because judgment for an evil thing is delayed, there is no justice; but only accident here below. Judgment for an evil thing is many times delayed some day or two, some century or two, but it is sure as life, it is sure as death." "This world, after all our science and sciences, is still a miracle wonderful, inscrutable, magical and more, to whosoever will think of it." More In Freedom "Not caring more about what other people think than what you think. That’s freedom."― Demi Moore "Government has the role of suiting people for freedom. People aren’t made for freedom spontaneously. There’s sort of a 19-year race between when people are born and when they become adults. And government has a role in making them, at the end of 19 years, suited to be upright, trustworthy repositories of popular sovereignty."― George Will "Governments that block the aspirations of their people, that steal or are corrupt, that oppress and torture or that deny freedom of expression and human rights should bear in mind that they will find it increasingly hard to escape the judgement of their own people, or where warranted, the reach of international law."― William Hague
