More quotes by Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
A greater number of God's creatures believe in Mahomet's word at this hour than in any other word whatever. Are we to suppose that it was a miserable piece of spiritual legerdemain, this which so many creatures of the almighty have lived by and died by?
Thomas Carlyle
Fame, we may understand, is no sure test of merit, but only a probability of such it is an accident, not a property of man.
Thomas Carlyle
Do the duty which lies nearest to you, the second duty will then become clearer.
Thomas Carlyle
The true epic of our times is not Arm's and the Man, but Tools and the Man--an infinitely wider kind of epic.
Thomas Carlyle
Friendship, in the old heroic sense of that term, no longer exists. It is in reality no longer expected or recognized as a virtue among men.
Thomas Carlyle
