More quotes by Thomas Carlyle
What, in the devil's name, is the use of respectability, with never so many gigs and silver spoons, if thou inwardly art the pitifulness of all men?
Thomas Carlyle
Men are grown mechanical in head and in the heart, as well as in the hand. They have lost faith in individual endeavour, and in natural force of any kind.
Thomas Carlyle
History is philosophy teaching by experience.
Thomas Carlyle
Blessed be the God's voice for it is true, and falsehoods have to cease before it!
Thomas Carlyle
Not what I have, but what I do is my kingdom.
Thomas Carlyle
Originality is a thing we constantly clamour for, and constantly quarrel with.
Thomas Carlyle
Our works are the mirror wherein the spirit first sees its natural lineaments. Hence, too, the folly of that impossible precept, Know theyself till it be translated into this partially possible one, know what thou canst work at.
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
Worship of a hero is transcendent admiration of a great man.
Thomas Carlyle
Experience is the best of school masters, only the school fees are heavy.
Thomas Carlyle
Love not Pleasure love God.
Thomas Carlyle
Cash-payment never was, or could except for a few years be, the union-bond of man to man. Cash never yet paid one man fully his deserts to another nor could it, nor can it, now or henceforth to the end of the world.
Thomas Carlyle
Piety does not mean that a man should make a sour face about things, and refuse to enjoy in moderation what his Maker has given.
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
In our wide world there is but one altogether fatal personage, the dunce,--he that speaks irrationally, that sees not, and yet thinks he sees.
Thomas Carlyle
Perfect ignorance is quiet, perfect knowledge is quiet not so the transition from the former to the latter.
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
A battle is a terrible conjugation of the verb to kill: I kill, thou killest, he kills, we kill, they kill, all kill.
Thomas Carlyle
The archenemy is the arch stupid!
Thomas Carlyle
Nature is the time-vesture of God that reveals Him to the wise, and hides him from the foolish.
Thomas Carlyle
