A loving heart is the beginning of all knowledge.
Thomas Carlyle
And yet without labour there were no ease, no rest, so much as conceivable.
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
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
Nature, after all, is still the grand agent in making poets.
Thomas Carlyle
Money, in truth, can do much, but it cannot do all. We must know the province of it, and confine it there, and even spurn it back when it wishes to get farther.
Thomas Carlyle
Tell a person they are brave and you help them become so.
Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
A vein of poetry exists in the hearts of all men.
Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
The English are a dumb people. They can do great acts, but not describe them.
Thomas Carlyle
Of all God's creatures, Man alone is poor.
Thomas Carlyle
The word of Mohammad is a voice direct from nature's own heart - all else is wind in comparison.
Thomas Carlyle
Egotism is the source and summary of all faults and miseries.
Thomas Carlyle
I want to meet my God awake.
Thomas Carlyle
Once turn to practice, error and truth will no longer consort together.
Thomas Carlyle
Hardened round us, encasing wholly every notion we form is a wrapping of traditions, hearsay's, and mere words.
Thomas Carlyle
Misery which, through long ages, had no spokesman, no helper, will now be its own helper and speak for itself.
Thomas Carlyle
Statistics is a science which ought to be honourable, the basis of many most important sciences but it is not to be carried on by steam, this science, any more than others are a wise head is requisite for carrying it on.
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
