Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
Happy season of virtuous youth, when shame is still an impassable barrier, and the sacred air-cities of hope have not shrunk into the mean clay hamlets of reality and man, by his nature, is yet infinite and free.
Thomas Carlyle
We have not read an author till we have seen his object, whatever it may be, as he saw it.
Thomas Carlyle
Not what I have, but what I do is my kingdom.
Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
No man who has once heartily and wholly laughed can be altogether irreclaimably bad.
Thomas Carlyle
Nine-tenths of the miseries and vices of mankind proceed from idleness.
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
An everlasting lodestar, that beams the brighter in the heavens the darker here on earth grows the night.
Thomas Carlyle
Nothing ever happens but once in all this world. What I do now I do once for all. It is over and gone, with all its eternity of solemn meaning.
Thomas Carlyle
In a symbol there is concealment and yet revelation: here therefore, by Silence and by Speech acting together, comes a double significance.
Thomas Carlyle
They only are wise who know that they know nothing.
Thomas Carlyle
