More quotes by Thomas Carlyle
Nature, after all, is still the grand agent in making poets.
Thomas Carlyle
Under all speech that is good for anything there lies a silence that is better, Silence is deep as Eternity speech is shallow as Time.
Thomas Carlyle
Cherish what is dearest while you have it near you, and wait not till it is far away. Blind and deaf that we are oh, think, if thou yet love anybody living, wait not till death sweep down the paltry little dust clouds and dissonances of the moment, and all be made at last so mournfully clear and beautiful, when it is too late.
Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
Enjoying things which are pleasant that is not the evil it is the reducing of our moral self to slavery by them that is.
Thomas Carlyle
The civil authority, or that part of it which remained faithful to their trust and true to the ends of the covenant, did, in answer to their consciences, turn out a tyrant, in a way which the Christians in aftertimes will mention with honor, and all tyrants in the world look at with fear.
Thomas Carlyle
By nature man hates change seldom will he quit his old home till it has actually fallen around his ears.
Thomas Carlyle
Ill-health, of body or of mind, is defeat. Health alone is victory. Let all men, if they can manage it, contrive to be healthy!
Thomas Carlyle
Everywhere in life, the true question is not what we gain, but what we do.
Thomas Carlyle
Good breeding differs, if at all, from high breeding only as it gracefully remembers the rights of others, rather than gracefully insists on its own rights.
Thomas Carlyle
All human things do require to have an ideal in them to have some soul in them.
Thomas Carlyle
