Thomas Carlyle Quote

There needs not a great soul to make a hero; there needs a god-created soul which will be true to its origin; that will be a great soul!


On Heroes, Hero-worship and the Heroic in History (ed. 1840)


There needs not a great soul to make a hero; there needs a god-created soul which will be true to its origin; that will be a great soul!

There needs not a great soul to make a hero; there needs a god-created soul which will be true to its origin; that will be a great soul!

There needs not a great soul to make a hero; there needs a god-created soul which will be true to its origin; that will be a great soul!

There needs not a great soul to make a hero; there needs a god-created soul which will be true to its origin; that will be a great soul!
