More quotes by Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
Society is founded on hero-worship.
Thomas Carlyle
History is a great dust heap.
Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
Happy season of childhood! Kind Nature, that art to all a bountiful mother that visitest the poor man's hut With auroral radiance and for thy nursling hast provided a soft swathing of love and infinite hope wherein he waxes and slumbers, danced round by sweetest dreams!
Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
The dead are all holy, even they that were base and wicked while alive. Their baseness and wickedness was not they, was but the heavy and unmanageable environment that lay round them.
Thomas Carlyle
No man sees far, most see no farther than their noses.
Thomas Carlyle
For man is not the creature and product of Mechanism but, in a far truer sense, its creator and producer.
Thomas Carlyle
As there is no danger of our becoming, any of us, Mahometans (i.e. Muslim), I mean to say all the good of him I justly can.
Thomas Carlyle
Once turn to practice, error and truth will no longer consort together.
Thomas Carlyle
The All of Things is an infinite conjugation of the verb To do .
Thomas Carlyle
