More quotes by Thomas Carlyle
Courtesy is the due of man to man not of suit-of-clothes to suit-of-clothes.
Thomas Carlyle
Thirty millions, mostly fools.
Thomas Carlyle
History is the distillation of rumour.
Thomas Carlyle
Of all the paths a man could strike into, there is, at any given moment, a best path .. A thing which, here and now, it were of all things wisest for him to do .. To find this path, and walk in it, is the one thing needful for him.
Thomas Carlyle
Metaphysics is the attempt of the mind to rise above the mind.
Thomas Carlyle
The most unhappy of all men is the man who cannot tell what he is going to do, who has got no work cut-out for him in the world, and does not go into it. For work is the grand cure of all the maladies and miseries that ever beset mankind,honest work, which you intend getting done.
Thomas Carlyle
Nature is the time-vesture of God that reveals Him to the wise, and hides him from the foolish.
Thomas Carlyle
All evil is like a nightmare the instant you stir under it, the evil is gone.
Thomas Carlyle
Professors of the Dismal Science, I perceive the length of your tether is now pretty well run and I must request you to talk a little lower in the future.
Thomas Carlyle
Enjoying things which are pleasant that is not the evil it is the reducing of our moral self to slavery by them that is.
Thomas Carlyle
Our grand business undoubtedly is, not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand.
Thomas Carlyle
What a wretched thing is all fame! A renown of the highest sort endures, say, for two thousand years. And then? Why, then, a fathomless eternity swallows it. Work for eternity not the meagre rhetorical eternity of the periodical critics, but for the real eternity wherein dwelleth the Divine.
Thomas Carlyle
Cease to brag to me of America, and its model institutions and constitutions. America, too, will have to strain its energies, crack its sinews, and all but break its heart, as the rest of us have had to do, in thousand-fold wrestle with the Pythons, and mud-demons, before it can become a babitation for the gods.
Thomas Carlyle
Love is the only game that is not called on account of darkness.
Thomas Carlyle
We call it a Society and go about professing openly the totalest separation, isolation. Our life is not a mutual helpfulness but rather, cloaked under due laws-of-war, named fair competition and so forth, it is a mutual hostility.
Thomas Carlyle
In a symbol there is concealment and yet revelation: here therefore, by Silence and by Speech acting together, comes a double significance.
Thomas Carlyle
Skepticism . . . is not intellectual only it is moral also, a chronic atrophy and disease of the whole soul.
Thomas Carlyle
Clean undeniable right, clear undeniable might: either of these once ascertained puts an end to battle. All battle is a confused experiment to ascertain one and both of these.
Thomas Carlyle
Laws themselves, political Constitutions, are not our Life but only the house wherein our Life is led.
Thomas Carlyle
O Time! Time! how it brings forth and devours! And the roaring flood of existence rushes on forever similar, forever changing!
Thomas Carlyle
