"A fundamental mistake to call vehemence and rigidity……" — Thomas Carlyle

"A fundamental mistake to call vehemence and rigidity strength! A man is not strong who takes convulsion-fits; though six men cannot hold him then. He that can walk under the heaviest weight without staggering, he is the strong man . . . A man who cannot hold his peace, till the time come for speaking and acting, is no right man."

Thomas Carlyle
