More quotes by Thomas Carlyle
The barrenest of all mortals is the sentimentalist.
Thomas Carlyle
Piety does not mean that a man should make a sour face about things, and refuse to enjoy in moderation what his Maker has given.
Thomas Carlyle
Cherish what is dearest while you have it near you, and wait not till it is far away. Blind and deaf that we are oh, think, if thou yet love anybody living, wait not till death sweep down the paltry little dust clouds and dissonances of the moment, and all be made at last so mournfully clear and beautiful, when it is too late.
Thomas Carlyle
Silence is as deep as eternity, speech a shallow as time.
Thomas Carlyle
Metaphysics is the attempt of the mind to rise above the mind.
Thomas Carlyle
Nature is the time-vesture of God that reveals Him to the wise, and hides him from the foolish.
Thomas Carlyle
The civil authority, or that part of it which remained faithful to their trust and true to the ends of the covenant, did, in answer to their consciences, turn out a tyrant, in a way which the Christians in aftertimes will mention with honor, and all tyrants in the world look at with fear.
Thomas Carlyle
Good Christian people, here lies for you an inestimable loan take all heed thereof, in all carefulness, employ it: with high recompense, or else with heavy penalty, will it one day be required back.
Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
A very sea of thought neither calm nor clear, if you will, yet wherein the toughest pearl-diver may dive to his utmost depth, and return not only with sea-wreck but with true orients.
Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
The first duty of man is to conquer fear he must get rid of it, he cannot act till then.
Thomas Carlyle
That a Parliament, especially a Parliament with Newspaper Reporters firmly established in it, is an entity which by its very nature cannot do work, but can do talk only.
Thomas Carlyle
The hell of these days is the fear of not getting along, especially of not making money.
Thomas Carlyle
Let one who wants to move and convince others, first be convinced and moved themselves. If a person speaks with genuine earnestness the thoughts, the emotion and the actual condition of their own heart, others will listen because we all are knit together by the tie of sympathy.
Thomas Carlyle
Man is, properly speaking, based upon hope, he has no other possession but hope this world of his is emphatically the place of hope.
Thomas Carlyle
'Genius' which means transcendent capacity of taking trouble, first of all.
Thomas Carlyle
Rest is for the dead.
Thomas Carlyle
There is a majesty and mystery in nature, take her as you will. The essence of poetry comes breathing to a mind that feels from every province of her empire.
Thomas Carlyle
