More quotes by Thomas Carlyle
He that has a secret should not only hide it, but hide that he has it to hide.
Thomas Carlyle
History shows that the majority of people that have done anything great have passed their youth in seclusion.
Thomas Carlyle
Affectation is the product of falsehood.
Thomas Carlyle
There is a perennial nobleness, and even sacredness, in work. Were he never so benighted, forgetful of his high calling, there is always hope in a man that actually and earnestly works: in idleness alone there is perpetual despair.
Thomas Carlyle
The soul gives unity to what it looks at with love.
Thomas Carlyle
Statistics, one may hope, will improve gradually, and become good for something. Meanwhile, it is to be feared the crabbed satirist was partly right, as things go: A judicious man, says he, looks at Statistics, not to get knowledge, but to save himself from having ignorance foisted on him.
Thomas Carlyle
Be not a slave of words.
Thomas Carlyle
Democracy will itself accomplish the salutary universal change from delusive to real, and make a new blessed world of us by and by.
Thomas Carlyle
In idleness there is a perpetual despair.
Thomas Carlyle
A fair day's wages for a fair day's work.
Thomas Carlyle
Hardened round us, encasing wholly every notion we form is a wrapping of traditions, hearsay's, and mere words.
Thomas Carlyle
If time is precious, no book that will not improve by repeated readings deserves to be read at all.
Thomas Carlyle
He is wise who can instruct us and assist us in the business of virtuous living.
Thomas Carlyle
All human things do require to have an ideal in them to have some soul in them.
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
True friends, like ivy and the wall Both stand together, and together fall.
Thomas Carlyle
Just in ratio as knowledge increases, faith diminishes.
Thomas Carlyle
Only perhaps in the United States, which alone of countries can do without governing,every man being at least able to live, and move off into the wilderness, let Congress jargon as it will,can such a form of so-called Government continue for any length of time to torment men with the semblance, when the indispensable substance is not there.
Thomas Carlyle
Culture is the process by which a person becomes all that they were created capable of being.
Thomas Carlyle
The great silent man! Looking round on the noisy inanity of the world,--words with little meaning, actions with little worth,--one loves to reflect on the great Empire of Silence.
Thomas Carlyle
