"To reform a world, to reform a nation, no wise man will undertake; and all but foolish men know, that the only solid, though a far slower reformation, is what each begins and perfects on himself"

- Thomas Carlyle

About this Quote

This quote by Thomas Carlyle speaks with the concept that it is difficult to reform the world or a nation as a whole. It is just feasible to make tiny adjustments in one's own life. This is a slower procedure, but it is the only method to make enduring modification. It is a pointer that we need to focus on our very own activities and aim to be the best version of ourselves. This is the only way to produce real and also enduring reform. It is a call to action for individuals to take duty for their own lives and to make every effort to make the globe a better area. It is a reminder that we ought to not depend on others to bring about modification, yet instead take the campaign to make a distinction in our own lives.
