More quotes by Thomas Carlyle
Force, force, everywhere force we ourselves a mysterious force in the centre of that. There is not a leaf rotting on the highway but has Force in it: how else could it rot? [As used in his time, by the word force, Carlyle means energy.]
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
Books are a triviality. Life alone is great.
Thomas Carlyle
There is so much data available to us, but most data won't help us succeed.
Thomas Carlyle
Life is a series of lessons that have to be understood.
Thomas Carlyle
Everywhere in life, the true question is not what we gain, but what we do.
Thomas Carlyle
No good book or good thing of any kind shows it best face at first. No the most common quality of in a true work of art that has excellence and depth, is that at first sight it produces a certain disappointment.
Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
Wealth of a man is the number of things which he loves and blesses which he is loved and blessed by.
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
History is a great dust heap.
Thomas Carlyle
Adversity is the diamond dust Heaven polishes its jewels with.
Thomas Carlyle
What this country needs is a man who knows God other than by heresay.
Thomas Carlyle
Of all your troubles, great and small, the greatest are the ones that don't happen at all.
Thomas Carlyle
By nature man hates change seldom will he quit his old home till it has actually fallen around his ears.
Thomas Carlyle
May blessings be upon the head of Cadmus, the Phoenicians, or whoever it was that invented books.
Thomas Carlyle
Youth is to all the glad season of life but often only by what it hopes, not by what it attains, or what it escapes.
Thomas Carlyle
The press is the fourth estate of the realm.
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
The Ideal is in thyself, the impediments too is in thyself.
Thomas Carlyle
