More quotes by Thomas Carlyle
The beginning of all wisdom is to look fixedly on clothes, or even with armed eyesight, till they become transparent.
Thomas Carlyle
All reform except a moral one will prove unavailing.
Thomas Carlyle
The world is an old woman, and mistakes any gilt farthing for a gold coin whereby being often cheated, she will thenceforth trust nothing but the common copper.
Thomas Carlyle
Variety is the condition of harmony.
Thomas Carlyle
The Christian must be consumed by the conviction of the infinite beauty of holiness and the infinite damnability of sin.
Thomas Carlyle
A man ought to inquire and find out what he really and truly has an appetite for what suits his constitution and that, doctors tell him, is the very thing he ought to have in general. And so with books.
Thomas Carlyle
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do that with all thy might and leave the issues calmly to God.
Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
Obedience is our universal duty and destiny wherein whoso will not bend must break too early and too thoroughly we cannot be trained to know that would, in this world of ours, is a mere zero to should, and for most part as the smallest of fractions even to shall.
Thomas Carlyle
A stammering man is never a worthless one. Physiology can tell you why. It is an excess of sensibility to the presence of his fellow creature, that makes him stammer.
Thomas Carlyle
If there be no enemy there's no fight. If no fight, no victory and if no victory there is no crown.
Thomas Carlyle
Of all your troubles, great and small, the greatest are the ones that don't happen at all.
Thomas Carlyle
All human things do require to have an ideal in them to have some soul in them.
Thomas Carlyle
A witty statesman said, you might prove anything by figures.
Thomas Carlyle
What we become depends on what we read after all of the professors have finished with us. The greatest university of all is a collection of books.
Thomas Carlyle
With union grounded on falsehood and ordering us to speak and act lies, we will not have anything to do. Peace? A brutal lethargy is peaceable the noisome is peaceable. We hope for a living peace, not a dead one!
Thomas Carlyle
Every man has a coward and hero in his soul.
Thomas Carlyle
Statistics, one may hope, will improve gradually, and become good for something. Meanwhile, it is to be feared the crabbed satirist was partly right, as things go: A judicious man, says he, looks at Statistics, not to get knowledge, but to save himself from having ignorance foisted on him.
Thomas Carlyle
