More quotes by Thomas Carlyle
Democracy is, by the nature of it, a self-canceling business: and gives in the long run a net result of zero.
Thomas Carlyle
Tell a person they are brave and you help them become so.
Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
The first sin in our universe was Lucifer's self conceit.
Thomas Carlyle
Little other than a red tape Talking-machine, and unhappy Bag of Parliamentary Eloquence.
Thomas Carlyle
Reform, like charity, must begin at home.
Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
Great men are the modelers, patterns, and in a wide sense creators, of whatsoever the general mass of men contrived to do and attain.

Thomas Carlyle
In books lies the soul of the whole Past Time the articulate audible voice of the Past, when the body and material substance of it has altogether vanished like a dream.
Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
Naps are a way of traveling painlessly through time into the future.
Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
A man perfects himself by working.
Thomas Carlyle
Infinite is the help man can yield to man.
Thomas Carlyle
The true Sovereign of the world, who moulds the world like soft wax, according to his pleasure, is he who lovingly sees into the world.
Thomas Carlyle
Let me have my own way in exactly everything and a sunnier and pleasanter creature does not exist.
Thomas Carlyle
It is the heart always that sees, before the head can see.
Thomas Carlyle
The Highest Being reveals himself in man.
Thomas Carlyle
All men, if they work not as in the great taskmaster's eye, will work wrong, and work unhappily for themselves and for you.
Thomas Carlyle
