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.
From Thomas Carlyle
The eye sees what it brings the power to see.
He who could foresee affairs three days in advance would be rich for thousands of years.
What you see, but can't see over is as good as infinite.
Adversity is the diamond dust Heaven polishes its jewels with.
Originality is a thing we constantly clamour for, and constantly quarrel with.
Silence is the element in which great things fashion themselves together.
I do not believe in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.
All that mankind has done, thought or been: it is lying as in magic preservation in the pages of books.
Be not a slave of words.
