More quotes by Thomas Carlyle
Science has done much for us but it is a poor science that would hide from us the great deep sacred infinitude of Nescience, on which all science swims as a mere superficial film.
Thomas Carlyle
The Christian must be consumed by the conviction of the infinite beauty of holiness and the infinite damnability of sin.
Thomas Carlyle
Considering the multitude of mortals that handle the pen in these days, and can mostly spell, and write without glaring violations of grammar, the question naturally arises: How is it, then, that no work proceeds from them, bearing any stamp of authenticity and permanence of worth for more than one day?
Thomas Carlyle
Great is wisdom infinite is the value of wisdom. It cannot be exaggerated it is the highest achievement of man.
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
Who is it that loves me and will love me forever with an affection which no chance, no misery, no crime of mine can do away? It is you, my mother.
Thomas Carlyle
Dishonesty is the raw material not of quacks only, but also in great part dupes.
Thomas Carlyle
The thing is not only to avoid error, but to attain immense masses of truth.
Thomas Carlyle
Not what I have, but what I do is my kingdom.
Thomas Carlyle
He who cannot withal keep his mind to himself cannot practice any considerable thing whatsoever.
Thomas Carlyle
Show me the man you honor I know by that symptom, better than by any other, what kind of man you yourself are. For you show me there what your ideal of manhood is what kind of man you long inexpressibly to be.
Thomas Carlyle
Evil and good are everywhere, like shadow and substance inseparable (for men) yet not hostile, only opposed.
Thomas Carlyle
Superstition! that horrid incubus which dwelt in darkness, shunning the light, with all its racks, and poison chalices, and foul sleeping draughts, is passing away without return. Religion cannot pass away. The burning of a little straw may hide the stars of the sky but the stars are there and will reappear.
Thomas Carlyle
The cut of a garment speaks of intellect and talent and the color of temperament and heart.
Thomas Carlyle
Insurrection, never so necessary, is a most sad necessity and governors who wait for that to instruct them are surely getting into the fatalest course.
Thomas Carlyle
A force as of madness in the hands of reason has done all that was ever done in the world.
Thomas Carlyle
Blessed is he who has found his work let him ask no other blessedness. He has a work, a Life-purpose... Get your happiness out of your work or you will never know what real happiness is... Even in the meanest sorts of Labour, the whole soul of a man is composed into a kind of real harmony the instant he sets himself to work!
Thomas Carlyle
If there be no enemy there's no fight. If no fight, no victory and if no victory there is no crown.
Thomas Carlyle
See deep enough, and you see musically.
Thomas Carlyle
Woe to him, . . . who has no court of appeal against the world's judgment.
Thomas Carlyle
