More quotes by Thomas Carlyle
Who is it that loves me and will love me forever with an affection which no chance, no misery, no crime of mine can do away? It is you, my mother.
Thomas Carlyle
The graceful minuet-dance of fancy must give place to the toilsome, thorny pilgrimage of understanding. On the transition from the age of romance to that of science.
Thomas Carlyle
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do that with all thy might and leave the issues calmly to God.
Thomas Carlyle
A force as of madness in the hands of reason has done all that was ever done in the world.
Thomas Carlyle
What this country needs is a man who knows God other than by heresay.
Thomas Carlyle
Society is founded on hero-worship.
Thomas Carlyle
The first sin in our universe was Lucifer's self conceit.
Thomas Carlyle
A man lives by believing something.
Thomas Carlyle
There is always hope in a man that actually and earnestly works: in Idleness alone is there perpetual despair.
Thomas Carlyle
So much of truth, only under an ancient obsolete vesture, but the spirit of it still true, do I find in the Paganism of old nations. Nature is still divine, the revelation of the workings of God the Hero is still worshipable: this, under poor cramped incipient forms, is what all Pagan religions have struggled, as they could, to set forth.
Thomas Carlyle
The merit of originality is not novelty it is sincerity. The believing man is the original man whatsoever he believes, he believes it for himself, not for another.
Thomas Carlyle
Speech is too often not the art of concealing thought, but of quite stifling and suspending thought, so that there is none to conceal.
Thomas Carlyle
The mystery of a person, indeed, is ever divine to him that has a sense for the godlike.
Thomas Carlyle
All true work is sacred. In all true work, were it but true hand work, there is something of divineness. Labor, wide as the earth, has its summit in Heaven.
Thomas Carlyle
The greatest fault is to be conscious of none.
Thomas Carlyle
What I loved in the man was his health, his unity with himself all people and all things seemed to find their quite peaceable adjustment with him, not a proud domineering one, as after doubtful contest, but a spontaneous-looking peaceable, even humble one.
Thomas Carlyle
Nothing builds self-esteem and self-confidence like accomplishment.
Thomas Carlyle
A loving heart is the beginning of all knowledge.
Thomas Carlyle
How, without clothes, could we possess the master organ, soul's seat and true pineal gland of the body social--I mean a purse?
Thomas Carlyle
Skepticism . . . is not intellectual only it is moral also, a chronic atrophy and disease of the whole soul.
Thomas Carlyle
