Quote by Thomas Carlyle

Long stormy spring-time, wet contentious April, winter chilling the lap of very May; but at length the season of summer does come

Long stormy spring-time, wet contentious April, winter chill

Summary

This quote expresses the idea that even though we may face difficulties and challenges along the way, eventually, good times will come. It highlights the metaphorical idea of the changing seasons, comparing the obstacles faced to a tumultuous and never-ending springtime, with cold and rainy weather that prolongs the arrival of summer. However, it offers hope by emphasizing that despite the hardships, the season of summer, symbolizing happiness and success, will eventually arrive. It serves as a reminder to persevere through tough times as they are temporary, leading to brighter and better days.

Does the imam have a legal right to build the mosque at Ground Zero? The answer is yes. But is it the right thing to do? The answer is no. And most Americans, and most moderate Muslims, join with me in that call.

My life came to a standstill. I could breathe, eat, drink and sleep, and I could not help doing these things; but there was no life, for there were no wishes the fulfilment of which I could consider reasonable. If I desired anything, I knew in advance that whether I satisfied my desire or not, nothing would come of it. Had a fairy come and offered to fulfil my desires I should not have known what to ask. If in moments of intoxication I felt something which, though not a wish, was a habit left by former wishes, in sober moments I knew this to be a delusion and that there was really nothing to wish for. I could not even wish to know the truth, for I guess of what it consisted. The truth was that life is meaningless.

No sooner is your ocean filled, than he grumbles that it might have been of better vintage. Try him with half of a Universe, of an Omnipotence, he sets to quarrelling with the proprietor of the other half, and declares himself the most maltreated of men. Always there is a black spot in our sunshine: it is even as I said, the Shadow of Ourselves.
