Thomas Carlyle
The tragedy of life is not so much what men suffer, but rather what they miss.
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
Blessed is he who has found his work let him ask no other blessedness. He has a work, a Life-purpose... Get your happiness out of your work or you will never know what real happiness is... Even in the meanest sorts of Labour, the whole soul of a man is composed into a kind of real harmony the instant he sets himself to work!
Thomas Carlyle
A mind that has seen, and suffered, and done, speaks to us of what it has tried and conquered.
Thomas Carlyle
Music is well said to be the speech of angels in fact, nothing among the utterances allowed to man is felt to be so divine. It brings us near to the infinite.
Thomas Carlyle

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
Every day that is born into the world comes like a burst of music and rings the whole day through, and you make of it a dance, a dirge, or a life march, as you will.
Thomas Carlyle
I do not believe in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.
Thomas Carlyle
The goal of yesterday will be our starting-point to-morrow.
Thomas Carlyle
The depth of our despair measures what capability and height of claim we have to hope.
Thomas Carlyle
A star is beautiful it affords pleasure, not from what it is to do, or to give, but simply by being what it is. It befits the heavens it has congruity with the mighty space in which it dwells. It has repose no force disturbs its eternal peace. It has freedom no obstruction lies between it and infinity.
Thomas Carlyle
Necessity dispenseth with decorum.
Thomas Carlyle
