What people are saying - Write a reviewReview: Past and PresentUser Review - Charlotte - Goodreadsi'm not sorry I read it, but the author gets in the way of the content. After reading more about him and his wife and marriage, I am altogether disenchanted. He must have been hell to live with. Read full review Review: Past And PresentUser Review - Elisa - GoodreadsAll I can say is that I am relieved to be finished this. I think I deserve credit for doing so.

Produce ! Were it but the pitifullest infinitesimal fraction of a Product, produce it in God's name ! 'Tis the utmost thou hast in thee; out with it then. Up, up ! Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy whole might. Work while it is called To-day, for the Night cometh wherein no man can work. Page 107 - There is but one temple in the Universe,' says the devout Novalis, ' and that is the Body of Man. Nothing is holier than that high form. Bending before men is a reverence done to this Revelation in the Flesh. We touch Heaven when we lay our hand on a human body!

Page 28 - To him that hath shall be given, and from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath,' — that doctrines like these should be applied in the State, and especially in a monarchically, paternally governed State. Page 169 - Blessed is he who has found his work; let him ask no other blessedness. He has a work, a life-purpose; he has found it, and will follow it! How, as a free-flowing channel, dug and torn by noble force through the sour mud-swamp of one's existence, like an ever-deepening river there, it runs and flows; draining off the sour festering water, gradually from the root of the remotest grassblade; making instead of pestilential swamp, a green fruitful meadow with its clear-flowing stream. Page 3 - So many hundred thousands sit in workhouses: and other hundred thousands have not yet got even workhouses; and in thrifty Scotland itself, in Glasgow or Edinburgh City, in their dark lanes, hidden from all but the eye of God, and of rare Benevolence the minister of God, there are scenes of woe and destitution and desolation, such as, one may hope, the Sun never saw before in the most barbarous regions where men dwelt.

For it is the right and noble alone that will have victory in this struggle ; the rest is wholly an obstruction, a postponement and fearful imperilment of the victory. Page 175 - LIFE to thee, — why, God's entire Creation to thyself, the whole Universe of Space, the whole Eternity of Time, and what they hold : that is the price which would content thee ; that, and if thou wilt be candid, nothing short of that ! It is thy all ; and for it thou wouldst have all. Page 232 - The Leaders of Industry, if Industry is ever to be led, are virtually the Captains of the World ; if there be no nobleness in them, there will never be an Aristocracy more. But let the Captains of Industry consider : once again, are they born of other clay than the old Captains of Slaughter ; doomed forever to be no Chivalry, but a mere gold-plated Doggery, — what the French well name Canaille, References to this bookFrom Google ScholarSocial Responsibility, Ethics, and Marketing Strategy: Closing the ...Donald P Robin, R Eric Reidenbach - 1987 - The Journal of Marketing Invaluable GoodsKenneth J Arrow - 1997 - Journal of Economic Literature Toward a Science of Adaptive ResponsesLorna Jean King, FAOTA OTR Does Marketing Ethics Really Have Anything to Say?–A Critical ...John F Gaski - 1999 - Journal of Business Ethics References from web pagesPast and Present by Thomas Carlyle - Project Gutenberg Past and Present (book) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Past and Present by Thomas Carlyle: Summary Past and Present: Epic as Action (Chapter 4) Ralph Waldo Emerson: Past and Present: By Thomas Carlyle.
