More quotes by Thomas Carlyle
Not what I have, but what I do is my kingdom.
Thomas Carlyle
No man lives without jostling and being jostled in all ways he has to elbow himself through the world, giving and receiving offence.
Thomas Carlyle
Blessed is he who has found his work let him ask no other blessedness.
Thomas Carlyle
Friendship, in the old heroic sense of that term, no longer exists. It is in reality no longer expected or recognized as a virtue among men.
Thomas Carlyle
Woe to him, . . . who has no court of appeal against the world's judgment.
Thomas Carlyle
Blessed is he who has found his work let him ask no other blessedness. He has a work, a life-purpose he has found it, and will follow it! How, as a free-flowing channel, dug and torn by noble force through the sour mudswamp of one's existence, like an ever-deepening river there, it runs and flows

Thomas Carlyle
Man makes circumstances, and spiritually as well as economically, is the artificer of his own fortune.
Thomas Carlyle
A star is beautiful it affords pleasure, not from what it is to do, or to give, but simply by being what it is. It befits the heavens it has congruity with the mighty space in which it dwells. It has repose no force disturbs its eternal peace. It has freedom no obstruction lies between it and infinity.
Thomas Carlyle
Worship is transcendent wonder.
Thomas Carlyle
Scarcely two hundred years back can Fame recollect articulately at all and there she but maunders and mumbles.
Thomas Carlyle
Blessed is he who has found his work let him ask no other blessedness. He has a work, a Life-purpose... Get your happiness out of your work or you will never know what real happiness is... Even in the meanest sorts of Labour, the whole soul of a man is composed into a kind of real harmony the instant he sets himself to work!
Thomas Carlyle
The Present is the living sum-total of the whole Past.
Thomas Carlyle
Lives the man that can figure a naked Duke of Windlestraw addressing a naked House of Lords?
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
The Christian must be consumed by the conviction of the infinite beauty of holiness and the infinite damnability of sin.
Thomas Carlyle
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do that with all thy might and leave the issues calmly to God.
Thomas Carlyle
Democracy means despair of finding any heroes to govern you, and contented putting up with the want of them.
Thomas Carlyle
