"Humor has justly been regarded as the finest perfection of poetic genius."

"He who has health, has hope; and he who has hope, has everything."

"My books are friends that never fail me."(Letter to his mother, Margaret A. Carlyle; 17 March 1817)"

"If Jesus Christ were to come today, people would not even crucify him. They would ask him to dinner, and hear what he had to say, and make fun of it."
