More quotes by Thomas Carlyle
The goal of yesterday will be our starting-point to-morrow.
Thomas Carlyle
Rest is for the dead.
Thomas Carlyle
In every object there is inexhaustible meaning the eye sees in it what the eye brings means of seeing.
Thomas Carlyle
What is all Knowledge too but recorded Experience, and a product of History of which, therefore, Reasoning and Belief, no less than Action and Passion, are essential materials?
Thomas Carlyle
Of a truth, men are mystically united: a mystic bond of brotherhood makes all men one.
Thomas Carlyle
I grow daily to honour facts more and more, and theory less and less. A fact, it seems to me, is a great thing a sentence printed, if not by God, then at least by the Devil.
Thomas Carlyle
Before philosophy can teach by Experience, the Philosophy has to be in readiness, the Experience must be gathered and intelligibly recorded.
Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
With union grounded on falsehood and ordering us to speak and act lies, we will not have anything to do. Peace? A brutal lethargy is peaceable the noisome is peaceable. We hope for a living peace, not a dead one!
Thomas Carlyle
If Jesus Christ were to come today, people would not even crucify him. They would ask him to dinner, and hear what he had to say, and make fun of it.
Thomas Carlyle
Man is, properly speaking, based upon hope, he has no other possession but hope this world of his is emphatically the place of hope.
Thomas Carlyle
Perfect ignorance is quiet, perfect knowledge is quiet not so the transition from the former to the latter.
Thomas Carlyle
There is no life of a man, faithfully recorded, but is a heroic poem of its sort, rhymed or unrhymed.
Thomas Carlyle
I call that [Book of Job], apart from all theories about it, one of the grandest things ever written with pen.
Thomas Carlyle
Violence does even justice unjustly.
Thomas Carlyle
It is in general more profitable to reckon up our defeats than to boast of our attainments.
Thomas Carlyle
The most unhappy of all men is the man who cannot tell what he is going to do, who has got no work cut-out for him in the world, and does not go into it. For work is the grand cure of all the maladies and miseries that ever beset mankind,honest work, which you intend getting done.
Thomas Carlyle
