Thomas Carlyle
Parliament will train you to talk and above all things to hear, with patience, unlimited quantities of foolish talk.
Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
The true Sovereign of the world, who moulds the world like soft wax, according to his pleasure, is he who lovingly sees into the world.
Thomas Carlyle
Midas-eared Mammonism, double-barrelled Dilettantism, and their thousand adjuncts and corollaries, are not the Law by which God Almighty has appointed this His universe to go.
Thomas Carlyle
Rightly viewed no meanest object is insignificant all objects are as windows through which the philosophic eye looks into infinitude itself.
Thomas Carlyle
Speech that leads not to action, still more that hinders it, is a nuisance on the earth.
Thomas Carlyle
A strong mind always hopes, and has always cause to hope.
Thomas Carlyle
Let me have my own way in exactly everything and a sunnier and pleasanter creature does not exist.
Thomas Carlyle
