More quotes by Thomas Carlyle
Good Christian people, here lies for you an inestimable loan take all heed thereof, in all carefulness, employ it: with high recompense, or else with heavy penalty, will it one day be required back.
Thomas Carlyle
In the huge mass of evil as it rolls and swells, there is ever some good working toward deliverance and triumph.
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
Violence does even justice unjustly.
Thomas Carlyle
Conclusive facts are inseparable from inconclusive except by a head that already understands and knows.
Thomas Carlyle
Rest is for the dead.
Thomas Carlyle
Let one who wants to move and convince others, first be convinced and moved themselves. If a person speaks with genuine earnestness the thoughts, the emotion and the actual condition of their own heart, others will listen because we all are knit together by the tie of sympathy.
Thomas Carlyle
Nothing that was worthy in the past departs no truth or goodness realized by man ever dies, or can die.
Thomas Carlyle
One monster there is in the world, the idle man.
Thomas Carlyle
No man who has once heartily and wholly laughed can be altogether irreclaimably bad.
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
Nature, after all, is still the grand agent in making poets.
Thomas Carlyle
The civil authority, or that part of it which remained faithful to their trust and true to the ends of the covenant, did, in answer to their consciences, turn out a tyrant, in a way which the Christians in aftertimes will mention with honor, and all tyrants in the world look at with fear.
Thomas Carlyle
Are not our greatest men as good as lost? The men that walk daily among us, warming us, feeding us, walk shrouded in darkness, mere mythic men.
Thomas Carlyle
Wondrous is the strength of cheerfulness, altogether past calculation its powers of endurance.
Thomas Carlyle
A word spoken in season, at the right moment is the mother of ages.
Thomas Carlyle
A poor creature who has said or done nothing worth a serious man taking the trouble of remembering.
Thomas Carlyle
Science has done much for us but it is a poor science that would hide from us the great deep sacred infinitude of Nescience, on which all science swims as a mere superficial film.
Thomas Carlyle
Professors of the Dismal Science, I perceive the length of your tether is now pretty well run and I must request you to talk a little lower in the future.
Thomas Carlyle
Narrative is linear, but action has breadth and depth as well as height and is solid.
Thomas Carlyle
