Ethics of Life. Work and Do Not Despair!

Thomas Carlyle was a British writer, publicist, historian, and philosopher. "We must live, not merely drift along. Yes—think that we must live! Your life, even if you are the most wretched of mortals, is not a pastime dream, but reality—full of high meaning! Your life is your own possession; it is everything you can offer in meeting eternity. So act like the stars—‘slowly, yet knowing no rest.’"
