Thomas Carlyle
Every noble crown is, and on Earth will forever be, a crown of thorns.
Thomas Carlyle
The eye sees what it brings the power to see.
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
The Builder of this Universe was wise, He plann'd all souls, all systems, planets, particles: The Plan He shap'd all Worlds and Æons by, Was-Heavens!-was thy small Nine-and-thirty Articles!
Thomas Carlyle
The press is the fourth estate of the realm.
Thomas Carlyle
I grow daily to honour facts more and more, and theory less and less. A fact, it seems to me, is a great thing a sentence printed, if not by God, then at least by the Devil.
Thomas Carlyle
