More quotes by 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 most unhappy of all men is the man who cannot tell what he is going to do, who has got no work cut-out for him in the world, and does not go into it. For work is the grand cure of all the maladies and miseries that ever beset mankind,honest work, which you intend getting done.
Thomas Carlyle
In this world there is one godlike thing, the essence of all that was or ever will be of godlike in this world: the veneration done to Human Worth by the hearts of men.
Thomas Carlyle
Rest is a fine medicine. Let your stomachs rest, ye dyspeptics let your brain rest, you wearied and worried people of business let your limbs rest, ye children of toil!
Thomas Carlyle
Egotism is the source and summary of all faults and miseries.
Thomas Carlyle
Cease to brag to me of America, and its model institutions and constitutions. America, too, will have to strain its energies, crack its sinews, and all but break its heart, as the rest of us have had to do, in thousand-fold wrestle with the Pythons, and mud-demons, before it can become a babitation for the gods.
Thomas Carlyle
This world, after all our science and sciences, is still a miracle wonderful, inscrutable, magical and more, to whosoever will think of it.
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
What I loved in the man was his health, his unity with himself all people and all things seemed to find their quite peaceable adjustment with him, not a proud domineering one, as after doubtful contest, but a spontaneous-looking peaceable, even humble one.
Thomas Carlyle
Success in life, in anything, depends upon the number of persons that one can make himself agreeable to.
Thomas Carlyle
The first sin in our universe was Lucifer's self conceit.
Thomas Carlyle
A poor creature who has said or done nothing worth a serious man taking the trouble of remembering.
Thomas Carlyle
Men are grown mechanical in head and in the heart, as well as in the hand. They have lost faith in individual endeavour, and in natural force of any kind.
Thomas Carlyle
Perfect ignorance is quiet, perfect knowledge is quiet not so the transition from the former to the latter.
Thomas Carlyle
A Fourth Estate, of Able Editors, springs up.
Thomas Carlyle
All work is as seed sown it grows and spreads, and sows itself anew.
Thomas Carlyle
A stammering man is never a worthless one. Physiology can tell you why. It is an excess of sensibility to the presence of his fellow creature, that makes him stammer.
Thomas Carlyle
A witty statesman said, you might prove anything by figures.
Thomas Carlyle
There is a great discovery still to be made in literature, that of paying literary men by the quantity they do not write.
Thomas Carlyle
See deep enough, and you see musically.
Thomas Carlyle
