| | | Thomas Carlyle -- Catechism
Thomas Carlyle: Quote:
The older I grow, and I am now upon the brink of eternity, the more comes back to me the first sentence of the Catechism which I learned when a child, and the fuller and deeper its meaning becomes, "What is the chief end of man? To glorify God, and to enjoy Him forever."
--cited by Alexander Whyte, Exposition to the Shorter Catechism, p. 15
| Wikipedia says of Thomas Carlyle: Quote: |
Thomas Carlyle (December 4, 1795 – February 5, 1881) was a Scottish essayist, satirist, and historian, whose work was hugely influential during the Victorian era. Coming from a strictly Calvinist family, Carlyle was expected by his parents to become a preacher. However, while at the University of Edinburgh, he lost his Christian faith; nevertheless, Calvinist values remained with him throughout his life.
