More quotes by Thomas Carlyle
Every man is my superior in that I may learn from him.
Thomas Carlyle
Insurrection, never so necessary, is a most sad necessity and governors who wait for that to instruct them are surely getting into the fatalest course.
Thomas Carlyle
A vein of poetry exists in the hearts of all men.
Thomas Carlyle
A man perfects himself by working. Foul jungles are cleared away, fair seed-fields rise instead, and stately cities and with the man himself first ceases to be a jungle, and foul unwholesome desert thereby. The man is now a man.
Thomas Carlyle
Books are a triviality. Life alone is great.
Thomas Carlyle
True friends, like ivy and the wall Both stand together, and together fall.
Thomas Carlyle
Pain was not given thee merely to be miserable under learn from it, turn it to account.
Thomas Carlyle
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do that with all thy might and leave the issues calmly to God.
Thomas Carlyle
The Ideal is in thyself, the impediments too is in thyself.
Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
The first duty of man is to conquer fear he must get rid of it, he cannot act till then.
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

Thomas Carlyle
Laws themselves, political Constitutions, are not our Life but only the house wherein our Life is led.
Thomas Carlyle
There is a perennial nobleness, and even sacredness, in work. Were he never so benighted, forgetful of his high calling, there is always hope in a man that actually and earnestly works: in idleness alone there is perpetual despair.
Thomas Carlyle
In every object there is inexhaustible meaning the eye sees in it what the eye brings means of seeing.
Thomas Carlyle
Our works are the mirror wherein the spirit first sees its natural lineaments. Hence, too, the folly of that impossible precept, Know theyself till it be translated into this partially possible one, know what thou canst work at.
Thomas Carlyle
The highest ensign that men ever met and embraced under, the Cross itself, had no meaning save an accidental extrinsic one.
Thomas Carlyle
Nothing that was worthy in the past departs no truth or goodness realized by man ever dies, or can die.
Thomas Carlyle
History is a great dust heap.
Thomas Carlyle
