Auguste Comte, French philosopher and former positivism once told Thomas Carlyle that he was going to start a new religion to replace Christianity. The old Scotsman was ready for him and replied: "Very Good. All you will have to do is to be crucified, rise on the third day, and get the world to believe you are still alive. Then your new religion will have a chance."
Here are more saying by Carlyle:
"Silence is the element in which Great things fashion themselves."
"It is better to build a dog hutch than to dream of building a palace."
"A great man shows his greatness by the way he treats little men."
"The greatest enemy of the prince of darkness is a thinking man."
"Conviction is worthless unless it is converted into conduct."
