More quotes by Thomas Carlyle
Every man is my superior in that I may learn from him.
Thomas Carlyle
Habit is the deepest law of human nature
Thomas Carlyle
The best lesson which we get from the tragedy of Karbala is that Husain and his companions were rigid believers in God. They illustrated that the numerical superiority does not count when it comes to the truth and the falsehood. The victory of Husain, despite his minority, marvels me!
Thomas Carlyle
A Fourth Estate, of Able Editors, springs up.
Thomas Carlyle
How great a Possibility, how small a realized Result.
Thomas Carlyle
There can be no acting or doing of any kind till it be recognized that there is a thing to be done the thing once recognized, doing in a thousand shapes becomes possible.
Thomas Carlyle
The meaning of song goes deep. Who in logical words can explain the effect music has on us? A kind of inarticulate, unfathomable speech, which leads us to the edge of the infinite, and lets us for a moment gaze into that!
Thomas Carlyle
With union grounded on falsehood and ordering us to speak and act lies, we will not have anything to do. Peace? A brutal lethargy is peaceable the noisome is peaceable. We hope for a living peace, not a dead one!
Thomas Carlyle
A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder.
Thomas Carlyle
The world is a thing that a man must learn to despise, and even to neglect, before he can learn to reverence it, and work in it and for it.
Thomas Carlyle
In a symbol there is concealment and yet revelation: here therefore, by Silence and by Speech acting together, comes a double significance.
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
Let him who would move and convince others, be first moved and convinced himself.
Thomas Carlyle
Originality is a thing we constantly clamour for, and constantly quarrel with.
Thomas Carlyle
If Hero means sincere man, why may not every one of us be a Hero?
Thomas Carlyle
Silence is as deep as eternity, speech a shallow as time.
Thomas Carlyle
Doubt of any kind cannot be resolved except by action.
Thomas Carlyle
Wise man was he who counselled that speculation should have free course, and look fearlessly towards all the thirty-two points of the compass, whithersoever and howsoever it listed.
Thomas Carlyle
Man makes circumstances, and spiritually as well as economically, is the artificer of his own fortune.
Thomas Carlyle
Universal history, the history of what man has accomplished in this world, is at bottom the History of the Great Men who have worked here.
Thomas Carlyle
