More quotes by Thomas Carlyle
Nature is the time-vesture of God that reveals Him to the wise, and hides him from the foolish.
Thomas Carlyle
The situation that has not its duty, its ideal, was never yet occupied by man. Yes, here, in this poor, miserable, hampered, despicable actual, wherein thou even now standest, here or nowhere is thy ideal work it out therefrom, and, working, believe, live, be free. Fool! the ideal is in thyself.
Thomas Carlyle
Endurance is patience concentrated.
Thomas Carlyle
Providence has given to the French the empire of the land, to the English that of the sea, to the Germans that of--the air!
Thomas Carlyle

Every human being has a right to hear what other wise human beings have spoken to him. It is one of the Rights of Men a very cruel injustice if you deny it to a man!
Thomas Carlyle
Whose school-hours are all the days and nights of our existence.
Thomas Carlyle
No nobler feeling than this, of admiration for one higher than himself, dwells in the breast of man. It is to this hour, and at all hours, the vivifying influence in man's life.
Thomas Carlyle
The hell of these days is the fear of not getting along, especially of not making money.
Thomas Carlyle
The archenemy is the arch stupid!
Thomas Carlyle
Work earnestly at anything, you will by degrees learn to work at all things.
Thomas Carlyle
In idleness there is a perpetual despair.
Thomas Carlyle
Piety does not mean that a man should make a sour face about things, and refuse to enjoy in moderation what his Maker has given.
Thomas Carlyle
There are good and bad times, but our mood changes more often than our fortune.
Thomas Carlyle
It is a mathematical fact that the casting of this pebble from my hand alters the centre of gravity of the universe.
Thomas Carlyle
