Thomas Carlyle
Work earnestly at anything, you will by degrees learn to work at all things.
Thomas Carlyle
O Time! Time! how it brings forth and devours! And the roaring flood of existence rushes on forever similar, forever changing!
Thomas Carlyle
With union grounded on falsehood and ordering us to speak and act lies, we will not have anything to do. Peace? A brutal lethargy is peaceable the noisome is peaceable. We hope for a living peace, not a dead one!
Thomas Carlyle
Nature is the time-vesture of God that reveals Him to the wise, and hides him from the foolish.
Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
Have a purpose in life, and having it, throw into your work such strength of mind and muscle as God has given you.
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
By nature man hates change seldom will he quit his old home till it has actually fallen around his ears.
Thomas Carlyle
The best effect of any book is that it excites the reader to self activity.
Thomas Carlyle
Blessed is he who has found his work let him ask no other blessedness.
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
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do that with all thy might and leave the issues calmly to God.
Thomas Carlyle
