More quotes by Thomas Carlyle
The meaning of song goes deep. Who in logical words can explain the effect music has on us? A kind of inarticulate, unfathomable speech, which leads us to the edge of the infinite, and lets us for a moment gaze into that!
Thomas Carlyle
Of a truth, men are mystically united: a mystic bond of brotherhood makes all men one.
Thomas Carlyle
In the huge mass of evil as it rolls and swells, there is ever some good working toward deliverance and triumph.
Thomas Carlyle
When we can drain the Ocean into mill-ponds, and bottle up the Force of Gravity, to be sold by retail, in gas jars then may we hope to comprehend the infinitudes of man's soul under formulas of Profit and Loss and rule over this too, as over a patent engine, by checks, and valves, and balances.
Thomas Carlyle
See deep enough, and you see musically.
Thomas Carlyle
Let me have my own way in exactly everything and a sunnier and pleasanter creature does not exist.
Thomas Carlyle
Conclusive facts are inseparable from inconclusive except by a head that already understands and knows.
Thomas Carlyle
How great a Possibility, how small a realized Result.
Thomas Carlyle
The eye of the intellect sees in all objects what it brought with it the means of seeing.
Thomas Carlyle
Adversity is the diamond dust Heaven polishes its jewels with.
Thomas Carlyle
It is a fact which escapes no one, that, generally speaking, whoso is acquainted with his worth has but a little stock to cultivate acquaintance with.
Thomas Carlyle
Let him who would move and convince others, be first moved and convinced himself.
Thomas Carlyle
The soul gives unity to what it looks at with love.
Thomas Carlyle
Rightly viewed no meanest object is insignificant all objects are as windows through which the philosophic eye looks into infinitude itself.
Thomas Carlyle
He who cannot withal keep his mind to himself cannot practice any considerable thing whatsoever.
Thomas Carlyle
Blessed be the God's voice for it is true, and falsehoods have to cease before it!
Thomas Carlyle
It is no very good symptom, either of nations or individuals, that they deal much in vaticination. Happy men are full of the present, for its bounty suffices them and wise men also, for its duties engage them. Our grand business undoubtedly is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what clearly lies at hand.
Thomas Carlyle
Language is called the garment of thought: however, it should rather be, language is the flesh-garment, the body, of thought.
Thomas Carlyle
A man must indeed be a hero to appear such in the eyes of his valet.
Thomas Carlyle
Happy the People whose Annals are blank in History Books!
Thomas Carlyle
