Thomas Carlyle
Image
No man sees far, most see no farther than their noses.
Thomas Carlyle
Image
If there be no enemy there's no fight. If no fight, no victory and if no victory there is no crown.
Thomas Carlyle
Image
Laws, written, if not on stone tables, yet on the azure of infinitude, in the inner heart of God's creation, certain as life, certain as death, are there, and thou shalt not disobey them.
Thomas Carlyle
Image
It is not a lucky word, this name impossible no good comes of those who have it so often in their mouths.
Thomas Carlyle

Nature is the time-vesture of God that reveals Him to the wise, and hides him from the foolish.
Thomas Carlyle
Image
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
Image
A pygmy standing on the outward crust of this small planet, his far-reaching spirit stretches outward to the infinite, and there alone finds rest.
Thomas Carlyle
Image
Every day that is born into the world comes like a burst of music and rings the whole day through, and you make of it a dance, a dirge, or a life march, as you will.
Thomas Carlyle
Image
How indestructibly the good grows, and propagates itself, even among the weedy entanglements of evil.
Thomas Carlyle
Image
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
Image
Youth is to all the glad season of life but often only by what it hopes, not by what it attains, or what it escapes.
Thomas Carlyle
Image
There is often more spiritual force in a proverb than in whole philosophical systems.
Thomas Carlyle
Image
Violence does even justice unjustly.
Thomas Carlyle
