“Wonderful Force of Public Opinion!

—Thomas Carlyle (17951881)
“We must no longer be children, tossed to and fro and blown about by every wind of doctrine, by peoples trickery, by their craftiness in deceitful scheming.”

“So the gentle poets name
To foreign parts is blown by fame;
Seek him in his native town,
He is hidden and unknown.”
