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
If Jesus Christ were to come today, people would not even crucify him. They would ask him to dinner, and hear what he had to say, and make fun of it.
Thomas Carlyle
A fair day's wages for a fair day's work.
Thomas Carlyle
Love is ever the beginning of knowledge as fire is of light.
Thomas Carlyle
It's a man's sincerity and depth of vision that makes him a poet.
Thomas Carlyle
Music is well said to be the speech of angels in fact, nothing among the utterances allowed to man is felt to be so divine. It brings us near to the infinite.
Thomas Carlyle
Of our thinking it is but the upper surface that we shape into articulate thought underneath the region of argument and conscious discourse lies the region of meditation.
Thomas Carlyle
In every object there is inexhaustible meaning the eye sees in it what the eye brings means of seeing.
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
It is not honest inquiry that makes anarchy but it is error, insincerity, half belief and untruth that make it.
Thomas Carlyle
A dandy is a clothes-wearing man--a man whose trade, office, and existence consist in the wearing of clothes. Every faculty of his soul, spirit, person and purse is heroically consecrated to this one object--the wearing of clothes, wisely and well so that, as others dress to live, he lives to dress.
Thomas Carlyle
To the wisest man, wide as is his vision. Nature remains of quite infinite depth, of quite infinite expansion and all experience thereof limits itself to some few computed centuries and measured square miles.
Thomas Carlyle
Little other than a red tape Talking-machine, and unhappy Bag of Parliamentary Eloquence.
Thomas Carlyle
There is precious instruction to be got by finding we were wrong.
Thomas Carlyle
Leaders: Captains of industry.
Thomas Carlyle
No iron chain, or outward force of any kind, could ever compel the soul of man to believe or to disbelieve: it is his own indefeasible light, that judgment of his he will reign and believe there by the grace of God alone!
Thomas Carlyle
All work is as seed sown it grows and spreads, and sows itself anew.
Thomas Carlyle
To the vulgar eye, few things are wonderful that are not distant
Thomas Carlyle
All history . . . is an inarticulate Bible.
Thomas Carlyle
Fame, we may understand, is no sure test of merit, but only a probability of such: it is an accident, not a property, of a man like light, it can give little or nothing, but at most may show what is given.
Thomas Carlyle
