More quotes by Thomas Carlyle
Of a truth, men are mystically united: a mystic bond of brotherhood makes all men one.
Thomas Carlyle
Out of Eternity the new day is born Into Eternity at night will return.
Thomas Carlyle
The situation that has not its duty, its ideal, was never yet occupied by man. Yes, here, in this poor, miserable, hampered, despicable actual, wherein thou even now standest, here or nowhere is thy ideal work it out therefrom, and, working, believe, live, be free. Fool! the ideal is in thyself.
Thomas Carlyle
The tragedy of life is not so much what men suffer, but rather what they miss.
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
Nothing that was worthy in the past departs no truth or goodness realized by man ever dies, or can die.
Thomas Carlyle
The leafy blossoming present time springs from the whole past, remembered and unrememberable.
Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
The eye of the intellect sees in all objects what it brought with it the means of seeing.
Thomas Carlyle
The first duty of man is to conquer fear he must get rid of it, he cannot act till then.
Thomas Carlyle
No man who has once heartily and wholly laughed can be altogether irreclaimably bad.
Thomas Carlyle
The times are very bad. Very well, you are there to make them better.
Thomas Carlyle
The mystical bond of brotherhood makes all men brothers.
Thomas Carlyle
No good book, or good thing of any sort, shows its best face at first.
Thomas Carlyle
A strong mind always hopes, and has always cause to hope.
Thomas Carlyle
Variety is the condition of harmony.
Thomas Carlyle
War is a quarrel between two thieves too cowardly to fight their own battle therefore they take boys from one village and another village, stick them into uniforms, equip them with guns, and let them loose like wild beasts against one other.
Thomas Carlyle
What unknown seas of feeling lie in man, and will from time to time break through!
Thomas Carlyle
Government is emphatically a machine: to the discontented a taxing machine, to the contented a machine for securing property.
Thomas Carlyle
All work is as seed sown it grows and spreads, and sows itself anew.
Thomas Carlyle
