More quotes by Thomas Carlyle
Evil and good are everywhere, like shadow and substance inseparable (for men) yet not hostile, only opposed.
Thomas Carlyle
The civil authority, or that part of it which remained faithful to their trust and true to the ends of the covenant, did, in answer to their consciences, turn out a tyrant, in a way which the Christians in aftertimes will mention with honor, and all tyrants in the world look at with fear.
Thomas Carlyle
Nine-tenths of the miseries and vices of mankind proceed from idleness.
Thomas Carlyle
Do the duty which lies nearest to you, the second duty will then become clearer.
Thomas Carlyle
There is a majesty and mystery in nature, take her as you will. The essence of poetry comes breathing to a mind that feels from every province of her empire.
Thomas Carlyle
In every object there is inexhaustible meaning the eye sees in it what the eye brings means of seeing.
Thomas Carlyle
In a symbol there is concealment and yet revelation: here therefore, by Silence and by Speech acting together, comes a double significance.
Thomas Carlyle
The archenemy is the arch stupid!
Thomas Carlyle
The whole past is the procession of the present.
Thomas Carlyle
It's a man's sincerity and depth of vision that makes him a poet.
Thomas Carlyle
Silence is the element in which great things fashion themselves together that at length they may emerge, full-formed and majestic, into the daylight of Life, which they are thenceforth to rule.
Thomas Carlyle
The authentic insight and experience of any human soul, were it but insight and experience in hewing of wood and drawing of water, is real knowledge, a real possession and acquirement.
Thomas Carlyle
The scandalous bronze-lacquer age of hungry animalisms, spiritual impotences, and mendacities, will have to run its course, till the pit follow it.
Thomas Carlyle
Of all your troubles, great and small, the greatest are the ones that don't happen at all.
Thomas Carlyle
Nature admits no lie.
Thomas Carlyle
A noble book! all men's book!
Thomas Carlyle
If I say that Shakespeare is the greatest of intellects, I have said all concerning him. But there is more in Shakespeare's intellect than we have yet seen. It is what I call an unconscious intellect there is more virtue in it that he himself is aware of.
Thomas Carlyle
Not on morality, but on cookery, let us build our stronghold: there brandishing our frying-pan, as censer, let us offer sweet incense to the Devil, and live at ease on the fat things he has provided for his elect!
Thomas Carlyle
When the oak is felled the whole forest echoes with it fall, but a hundred acorns are sown in silence by an unnoticed breeze.
Thomas Carlyle
Good Christian people, here lies for you an inestimable loan take all heed thereof, in all carefulness, employ it: with high recompense, or else with heavy penalty, will it one day be required back.
Thomas Carlyle
