More quotes by 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
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
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

Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
Nature is the time-vesture of God that reveals Him to the wise, and hides him from the foolish.
Thomas Carlyle
He who talks much about virtue in the abstract, begins to be suspected it is shrewdly guessed that where there is great preaching there will be little almsgiving.
Thomas Carlyle
Scarcely two hundred years back can Fame recollect articulately at all and there she but maunders and mumbles.
Thomas Carlyle
Every man has a coward and hero in his soul.
Thomas Carlyle
May blessings be upon the head of Cadmus, the Phoenicians, or whoever it was that invented books.
Thomas Carlyle
Nothing builds self-esteem and self-confidence like accomplishment.
Thomas Carlyle
Laws, written, if not on stone tables, yet on the azure of infinitude, in the inner heart of God's creation, certain as life, certain as death, are there, and thou shalt not disobey them.
Thomas Carlyle
It's a man's sincerity and depth of vision that makes him a poet.
Thomas Carlyle
And yet without labour there were no ease, no rest, so much as conceivable.
Thomas Carlyle
Thought once awakened does not again slumber unfolds itself into a System of Thought grows, in man after man, generation after generation, - till its full stature is reached, and such System of Thought can grow no farther, but must give place to another.
Thomas Carlyle
