"No sadder proof can be given by a man of his own littleness than disbelief in great men." ― Thomas Carlyle Topic(s): Faith Tags: proof, sadder More From Thomas Carlyle "Old age is not a matter for sorrow. It is matter for thanks if we have left our work done behind us." "Under all speech that is good for anything there lies a silence that is better, Silence is deep as Eternity; speech is shallow as Time." "What we become depends on what we read after all of the professors have finished with us. The greatest university of all is a collection of books." More In Faith "The substance of faith is a hope in the unseen."― Ron Suskind "I am prejudiced in favor of him who, without impudence, can ask boldly. He has faith in humanity, and faith in himself. No one who is not accustomed to giving grandly can ask nobly and with boldness."― Johann Kaspar Lavater "My faith is very private to me. It plays an important part in my life, but I do not try and throw my beliefs at others. I have tremendous respect for all faiths and beliefs, but have a deep concern that religion and faith are currently a long way apart from each other."― Rick Wakeman
