More quotes by Thomas Carlyle
The great soul of this world is just.
Thomas Carlyle
Out of the lowest depths there is a path to the loftiest heights.
Thomas Carlyle
When we can drain the Ocean into mill-ponds, and bottle up the Force of Gravity, to be sold by retail, in gas jars then may we hope to comprehend the infinitudes of man's soul under formulas of Profit and Loss and rule over this too, as over a patent engine, by checks, and valves, and balances.
Thomas Carlyle
The eye of the intellect sees in all objects what it brought with it the means of seeing.
Thomas Carlyle
Clean undeniable right, clear undeniable might: either of these once ascertained puts an end to battle. All battle is a confused experiment to ascertain one and both of these.
Thomas Carlyle
If what you have done is unjust, you have not succeeded.
Thomas Carlyle
Blessed be the God's voice for it is true, and falsehoods have to cease before it!
Thomas Carlyle
The first duty of man is to conquer fear he must get rid of it, he cannot act till then.
Thomas Carlyle
Perfect ignorance is quiet, perfect knowledge is quiet not so the transition from the former to the latter.
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
Every noble work is at first impossible.
Thomas Carlyle
Science must have originated in the feeling that something was wrong.
Thomas Carlyle
A strong mind always hopes, and has always cause to hope.
Thomas Carlyle
Nothing ever happens but once in all this world. What I do now I do once for all. It is over and gone, with all its eternity of solemn meaning.
Thomas Carlyle
The hell of these days is the fear of not getting along, especially of not making money.
Thomas Carlyle
Under all speech that is good for anything there lies a silence that is better, Silence is deep as Eternity speech is shallow as Time.
Thomas Carlyle
Happy season of childhood! Kind Nature, that art to all a bountiful mother that visitest the poor man's hut With auroral radiance and for thy nursling hast provided a soft swathing of love and infinite hope wherein he waxes and slumbers, danced round by sweetest dreams!
Thomas Carlyle
There is no life of a man, faithfully recorded, but is a heroic poem of its sort, rhymed or unrhymed.
Thomas Carlyle
The best lesson which we get from the tragedy of Karbala is that Husain and his companions were rigid believers in God. They illustrated that the numerical superiority does not count when it comes to the truth and the falsehood. The victory of Husain, despite his minority, marvels me!
Thomas Carlyle
The true past departs not, no truth or goodness realized by man ever dies, or can die but all is still here, and, recognized or not, lives and works through endless change.
Thomas Carlyle
