Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
A greater number of God's creatures believe in Mahomet's word at this hour than in any other word whatever. Are we to suppose that it was a miserable piece of spiritual legerdemain, this which so many creatures of the almighty have lived by and died by?
Thomas Carlyle
The insignificant, the empty, is usually the loud and after the manner of a drum, is louder even because of its emptiness.
Thomas Carlyle
Nature, after all, is still the grand agent in making poets.
Thomas Carlyle
Experience is the best of school masters, only the school fees are heavy.
Thomas Carlyle
Success in life, in anything, depends upon the number of persons that one can make himself agreeable to.
Thomas Carlyle
A false man found a religion? Why, a false man cannot build a brick house!
Thomas Carlyle
Laws themselves, political Constitutions, are not our Life but only the house wherein our Life is led.
Thomas Carlyle
By nature man hates change seldom will he quit his old home till it has actually fallen around his ears.
Thomas Carlyle
