More quotes by Thomas Carlyle
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do that with all thy might and leave the issues calmly to God.
Thomas Carlyle
A very sea of thought neither calm nor clear, if you will, yet wherein the toughest pearl-diver may dive to his utmost depth, and return not only with sea-wreck but with true orients.
Thomas Carlyle
Of all the paths a man could strike into, there is, at any given moment, a best path .. A thing which, here and now, it were of all things wisest for him to do .. To find this path, and walk in it, is the one thing needful for him.
Thomas Carlyle
Silence is as deep as eternity, speech a shallow as time.
Thomas Carlyle
Acorns are planted silently by some unnoticed breeze.
Thomas Carlyle
Be not a slave of words.
Thomas Carlyle
In every object there is inexhaustible meaning the eye sees in it what the eye brings means of seeing.
Thomas Carlyle
Once turn to practice, error and truth will no longer consort together.
Thomas Carlyle
Good breeding differs, if at all, from high breeding only as it gracefully remembers the rights of others, rather than gracefully insists on its own rights.
Thomas Carlyle
The true Sovereign of the world, who moulds the world like soft wax, according to his pleasure, is he who lovingly sees into the world.
Thomas Carlyle
Heroes, it would seem, exist always and a certain worship of them.
Thomas Carlyle
Man makes circumstances, and spiritually as well as economically, is the artificer of his own fortune.
Thomas Carlyle
Leaders: Captains of industry.
Thomas Carlyle
Wondrous is the strength of cheerfulness, altogether past calculation its powers of endurance.
Thomas Carlyle
A thought once awakened does not again slumber.
Thomas Carlyle
The meaning of song goes deep. Who in logical words can explain the effect music has on us? A kind of inarticulate, unfathomable speech, which leads us to the edge of the infinite, and lets us for a moment gaze into that!
Thomas Carlyle
To the wisest man, wide as is his vision. Nature remains of quite infinite depth, of quite infinite expansion and all experience thereof limits itself to some few computed centuries and measured square miles.
Thomas Carlyle
Our works are the mirror wherein the spirit first sees its natural lineaments. Hence, too, the folly of that impossible precept, Know theyself till it be translated into this partially possible one, know what thou canst work at.
Thomas Carlyle
What this country needs is a man who knows God other than by heresay.
Thomas Carlyle
If time is precious, no book that will not improve by repeated readings deserves to be read at all.
