More quotes by Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
Are not our greatest men as good as lost? The men that walk daily among us, warming us, feeding us, walk shrouded in darkness, mere mythic men.
Thomas Carlyle
Have not I myself known five hundred living soldiers sabred into crows' meat for a piece of glazed cotton, which they call their flag which had you sold it at any market-cross, would not have brought above three groschen?
Thomas Carlyle
Experience is the best of school masters, only the school fees are heavy.
Thomas Carlyle
All human souls, never so bedarkened, love light light once kindled spreads till all is luminous.

Thomas Carlyle
It is a mathematical fact that the casting of this pebble from my hand alters the centre of gravity of the universe.
Thomas Carlyle
There must be a new world if there is to be any world at all!... These days of universal death must be days of universal new birth, if the ruin is not to be total and final! It is Time to make the dullest man consider and ask himself, Whence he came? Whither he is bound?
Thomas Carlyle
No violent extreme endures.
Thomas Carlyle
Learn to be good readers, which is perhaps a more difficult thing than you imagine. Learn to be discriminative in your reading to read faithfully, and with your best attention, all kinds of things which you have a real interest in,--a real, not an imaginary,--and which you find to be really fit for what you are engaged in.
Thomas Carlyle
Variety is the condition of harmony.
Thomas Carlyle
Of all acts of man repentance is the most divine. The greatest of all faults is to be conscious of none.
Thomas Carlyle
I want to meet my God awake.
Thomas Carlyle
