More quotes by Thomas Carlyle
There is a great discovery still to be made in literature, that of paying literary men by the quantity they do not write.
Thomas Carlyle
The most unhappy of all men is the man who cannot tell what he is going to do, who has got no work cut-out for him in the world, and does not go into it. For work is the grand cure of all the maladies and miseries that ever beset mankind,honest work, which you intend getting done.
Thomas Carlyle
The Builder of this Universe was wise, He plann'd all souls, all systems, planets, particles: The Plan He shap'd all Worlds and Æons by, Was-Heavens!-was thy small Nine-and-thirty Articles!
Thomas Carlyle
A dandy is a clothes-wearing man--a man whose trade, office, and existence consist in the wearing of clothes. Every faculty of his soul, spirit, person and purse is heroically consecrated to this one object--the wearing of clothes, wisely and well so that, as others dress to live, he lives to dress.
Thomas Carlyle
Intellect is the soul of man, the only immortal part of him.
Thomas Carlyle
Earnestness alone makes life eternity.
Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
Let me have my own way in exactly everything and a sunnier and pleasanter creature does not exist.
Thomas Carlyle
The thing is not only to avoid error, but to attain immense masses of truth.
Thomas Carlyle
In the long-run every Government is the exact symbol of its People, with their wisdom and unwisdom we have to say, Like People like Government.
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
Music is well said to be the speech of angels.
Thomas Carlyle
A man lives by believing something.
Thomas Carlyle
Professors of the Dismal Science, I perceive the length of your tether is now pretty well run and I must request you to talk a little lower in the future.
Thomas Carlyle
Biography is the only true history.
Thomas Carlyle
To say that we have a clear conscience is to utter a solecism had we never sinned we should have had no conscience. Were defeat unknown, neither would victory be celebrated by songs of triumph.
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
If time is precious, no book that will not improve by repeated readings deserves to be read at all.
Thomas Carlyle
Woe to him, . . . who has no court of appeal against the world's judgment.
Thomas Carlyle
