More quotes by Thomas Carlyle
Wonderful Force of Public Opinion! We must act and walk in all points as it prescribes follow the traffic it bids us, realize the sum of money, the degree of influence it expects of us, or we shall be lightly esteemed certain mouthfuls of articulate wind will be blown at us, and this what mortal courage can front?
Thomas Carlyle
The Ideal is in thyself, the impediments too is in thyself.
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
Lord Bacon could as easily have created the planets as he could have written Hamlet.
Thomas Carlyle

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
I grow daily to honour facts more and more, and theory less and less. A fact, it seems to me, is a great thing a sentence printed, if not by God, then at least by the Devil.
Thomas Carlyle
Necessity dispenseth with decorum.
Thomas Carlyle
Leaders: Captains of industry.
Thomas Carlyle
Rest is a fine medicine. Let your stomachs rest, ye dyspeptics let your brain rest, you wearied and worried people of business let your limbs rest, ye children of toil!
Thomas Carlyle
Also, what mountains of dead ashes, wreck and burnt bones, does assiduous pedantry dig up from the past time and name it History.
Thomas Carlyle
The battle that never ends is the battle of belief against disbelief
Thomas Carlyle
The greatest mistake is to imagine that we never err.
Thomas Carlyle
The times are very bad. Very well, you are there to make them better.
Thomas Carlyle
