Quote by Thomas Carlyle

Thought once awakened does not again slumber; unfolds itself into a System of Thought; grows, in man after man, generation after generation, - till its full stature is reached, and such System of Thought can grow no farther, but must give place to another.

Thought once awakened does not again slumber; unfolds itself

Summary

This quote suggests that once a thought or idea is conceived and fully realized in someone's mind, it cannot be ignored or forgotten. It evolves and develops into a comprehensive system of thoughts, which influences and shapes the thinking of future generations until it reaches its fullest potential. However, at this point, this established system of thought must make way for new ideas and perspectives to emerge and continue the cycle of intellectual growth and progress.
