Trust not the heart of that man for whom old clothes are not venerable

The man of life upright has a guiltless heart, free from all dishonest deeds or thought of vanity.

Judge not a man by his clothes, but by his wife's clothes

True humor springs not more from the head than from the heart. It is not contempt; its essence is love. It issues not in laugther, but in still smiles, which lie far deeper. -Thomas Carlyle.

It is the heart always that sees, before the head can see

My books are friends that never fail me."

(Letter to his mother, Margaret A. Carlyle; 17 March 1817)
