More quotes by Thomas Carlyle
Be a pattern to others, and then all will go well for as a whole city is affected by the licentious passions and vices of great men, so it is likewise reformed by their moderation.
Thomas Carlyle
To the mean eye all things are trivial, as certainly as to the jaundiced they are yellow.
Thomas Carlyle
There must be a new world if there is to be any world at all!... These days of universal death must be days of universal new birth, if the ruin is not to be total and final! It is Time to make the dullest man consider and ask himself, Whence he came? Whither he is bound?
Thomas Carlyle
A man cannot make a pair of shoes rightly unless he do it in a devout manner.
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
Once the mind has been expanded by a big idea, it will never go back to its original state.
Thomas Carlyle
A heavenly awe overshadowed and encompassed, as it still ought, and must, all earthly business whatsoever.
Thomas Carlyle
All work is as seed sown it grows and spreads, and sows itself anew.
Thomas Carlyle
If what you have done is unjust, you have not succeeded.
Thomas Carlyle
Courtesy is the due of man to man not of suit-of-clothes to suit-of-clothes.
Thomas Carlyle
The Persians are called the French of the East we will call the Arabs Oriental Italians. A gifted noble people a people of wildstrong feelings, and of iron restraint over these: the characteristic of noblemindedness, of genius.
Thomas Carlyle
A well-written life is almost as rare as a well-spent one.
Thomas Carlyle
Insurrection, never so necessary, is a most sad necessity and governors who wait for that to instruct them are surely getting into the fatalest course.
Thomas Carlyle
So much of truth, only under an ancient obsolete vesture, but the spirit of it still true, do I find in the Paganism of old nations. Nature is still divine, the revelation of the workings of God the Hero is still worshipable: this, under poor cramped incipient forms, is what all Pagan religions have struggled, as they could, to set forth.
Thomas Carlyle
We have not read an author till we have seen his object, whatever it may be, as he saw it.
Thomas Carlyle
Be not a slave of words.
Thomas Carlyle
Books are a triviality. Life alone is great.
Thomas Carlyle
He that has a secret should not only hide it, but hide that he has it to hide.
Thomas Carlyle
A man must indeed be a hero to appear such in the eyes of his valet.
Thomas Carlyle
The All of Things is an infinite conjugation of the verb To do .
Thomas Carlyle
