More quotes by Thomas Carlyle
Nothing ever happens but once in all this world. What I do now I do once for all. It is over and gone, with all its eternity of solemn meaning.
Thomas Carlyle
To the wisest man, wide as is his vision. Nature remains of quite infinite depth, of quite infinite expansion and all experience thereof limits itself to some few computed centuries and measured square miles.
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
Wondrous is the strength of cheerfulness, and its power of endurance - the cheerful man will do more in the same time, will do it better, will preserve it longer, than the sad or sullen.
Thomas Carlyle
Everywhere in life, the true question is not what we gain, but what we do.
Thomas Carlyle
Speak not at all, in any wise, till you have somewhat to speak care not for the reward of your speaking, but simply and with undivided mind for the truth of your speaking.
Thomas Carlyle
A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder.
Thomas Carlyle
This world, after all our science and sciences, is still a miracle wonderful, inscrutable, magical and more, to whosoever will think of it.
Thomas Carlyle
A background of wrath, which can be stirred up to the murderous infernal pitch, does lie in every man.
Thomas Carlyle
In idleness there is a perpetual despair.
Thomas Carlyle
There is a great discovery still to be made in literature, that of paying literary men by the quantity they do not write.
Thomas Carlyle
It is through symbols that man consciously or unconsciously lives, works and has his being.
Thomas Carlyle
What unknown seas of feeling lie in man, and will from time to time break through!
Thomas Carlyle
Wondrous is the strength of cheerfulness, altogether past calculation its powers of endurance.
Thomas Carlyle
A word spoken in season, at the right moment is the mother of ages.
Thomas Carlyle
Happy season of virtuous youth, when shame is still an impassable barrier, and the sacred air-cities of hope have not shrunk into the mean clay hamlets of reality and man, by his nature, is yet infinite and free.
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
How, without clothes, could we possess the master organ, soul's seat and true pineal gland of the body social--I mean a purse?
Thomas Carlyle
Rightly viewed no meanest object is insignificant all objects are as windows through which the philosophic eye looks into infinitude itself.
Thomas Carlyle
Worship of a hero is transcendent admiration of a great man.
Thomas Carlyle
