More quotes by Thomas Carlyle
My books are friends that never fail me.
Thomas Carlyle
Music is well said to be the speech of angels in fact, nothing among the utterances allowed to man is felt to be so divine. It brings us near to the infinite.
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
Naps are a way of traveling painlessly through time into the future.
Thomas Carlyle
The sincere alone can recognize sincerity.
Thomas Carlyle
A loving heart is the beginning of all knowledge.
Thomas Carlyle
All men, if they work not as in the great taskmaster's eye, will work wrong, and work unhappily for themselves and for you.
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
The dead are all holy, even they that were base and wicked while alive. Their baseness and wickedness was not they, was but the heavy and unmanageable environment that lay round them.
Thomas Carlyle
If those gentlemen would let me alone I should be much obliged to them. I would say, as Shakespeare would say... Sweet Friend, for Jesus sake forbear.
Thomas Carlyle
Out of the lowest depths there is a path to the loftiest heights.
Thomas Carlyle
The first sin in our universe was Lucifer's self conceit.
Thomas Carlyle
Teach a parrot the terms 'supply and demand' and you've got an economist.
Thomas Carlyle
Once the mind has been expanded by a big idea, it will never go back to its original state.
Thomas Carlyle
Caution is the lower story of prudence.
Thomas Carlyle
No iron chain, or outward force of any kind, could ever compel the soul of man to believe or to disbelieve: it is his own indefeasible light, that judgment of his he will reign and believe there by the grace of God alone!
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
In books lies the soul of the whole Past Time the articulate audible voice of the Past, when the body and material substance of it has altogether vanished like a dream.
Thomas Carlyle
Parliament will train you to talk and above all things to hear, with patience, unlimited quantities of foolish talk.
Thomas Carlyle
What unknown seas of feeling lie in man, and will from time to time break through!
Thomas Carlyle
