More quotes by Thomas Carlyle
Pin your faith to no ones sleeves, haven't you two eyes of your own.
Thomas Carlyle
The greatest mistake is to imagine that we never err.
Thomas Carlyle
The vulgarity of inanimate things requires time to get accustomed to but living, breathing, bustling, plotting, planning, human vulgarity is a species of moral ipecacuanha, enough to destroy any comfort.
Thomas Carlyle
It is not honest inquiry that makes anarchy but it is error, insincerity, half belief and untruth that make it.
Thomas Carlyle
To the mean eye all things are trivial, as certainly as to the jaundiced they are yellow.
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
Variety is the condition of harmony.
Thomas Carlyle
The insignificant, the empty, is usually the loud and after the manner of a drum, is louder even because of its emptiness.
Thomas Carlyle
Only perhaps in the United States, which alone of countries can do without governing,every man being at least able to live, and move off into the wilderness, let Congress jargon as it will,can such a form of so-called Government continue for any length of time to torment men with the semblance, when the indispensable substance is not there.
Thomas Carlyle
Time is the silent, never-resting thing ... rolling, rushing on, swift, silent, like an all-embracing oceantide, on which we and all the universe swim.
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
Caution is the lower story of prudence.
Thomas Carlyle
Let me have my own way in exactly everything and a sunnier and pleasanter creature does not exist.
Thomas Carlyle
If you look deep enough you will see music the heart of nature being everywhere music.
Thomas Carlyle
If a book comes from the heart, it will contrive to reach other hearts all art and author-craft are of small amount to that.
Thomas Carlyle
The purpose of man is in action not thought.
Thomas Carlyle
It is not a lucky word, this name impossible no good comes of those who have it so often in their mouths.
Thomas Carlyle
Necessity dispenseth with decorum.
Thomas Carlyle
Genuine Work alone, what thou workest faithfully, that is eternal, as the Almighty Founder and World-Builder himself.
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
