More quotes by Thomas Carlyle
Dishonesty is the raw material not of quacks only, but also in great part dupes.
Thomas Carlyle
The best lesson which we get from the tragedy of Karbala is that Husain and his companions were rigid believers in God. They illustrated that the numerical superiority does not count when it comes to the truth and the falsehood. The victory of Husain, despite his minority, marvels me!
Thomas Carlyle
Caution is the lower story of prudence.
Thomas Carlyle
Thought is the parent of the deed.
Thomas Carlyle
The barrenest of all mortals is the sentimentalist.
Thomas Carlyle
The difference between Socrates and Jesus? The great conscious and the immeasurably great unconscious.
Thomas Carlyle
A man lives by believing something.
Thomas Carlyle
To say that we have a clear conscience is to utter a solecism had we never sinned we should have had no conscience. Were defeat unknown, neither would victory be celebrated by songs of triumph.
Thomas Carlyle
To the mean eye all things are trivial, as certainly as to the jaundiced they are yellow.
Thomas Carlyle
I came hither [Craigenputtoch] solely with the design to simplify my way of life and to secure the independence through which I could be enabled to remain true to myself.
Thomas Carlyle
Worship is transcendent wonder.
Thomas Carlyle
Reform, like charity, must begin at home.
Thomas Carlyle
The choking, sweltering, deadly, and killing rule of no rule the consecration of cupidity and braying of folly, and dim stupidity and baseness, in most of the affairs of men. Slopshirts attainable three-halfpence cheaper by the ruin of living bodies and immortal souls.
Thomas Carlyle
The word of Mohammad is a voice direct from nature's own heart - all else is wind in comparison.
Thomas Carlyle
To the wisest man, wide as is his vision. Nature remains of quite infinite depth, of quite infinite expansion and all experience thereof limits itself to some few computed centuries and measured square miles.
Thomas Carlyle
The latest gospel in this world is, know thy work and do it.
Thomas Carlyle
The eye of the intellect sees in all objects what it brought with it the means of seeing.
Thomas Carlyle
Conviction is worthless unless it is converted into conduct.
Thomas Carlyle
What is nature? Art thou not the living government of God? O Heaven, is it in very deed He then that ever speaks through thee, that lives and loves in thee, that lives and loves in me?
Thomas Carlyle
Nature, after all, is still the grand agent in making poets.
Thomas Carlyle
