Thomas Carlyle
Speak not at all, in any wise, till you have somewhat to speak care not for the reward of your speaking, but simply and with undivided mind for the truth of your speaking.
Thomas Carlyle
Reform, like charity, must begin at home.
Thomas Carlyle
Of all the paths a man could strike into, there is, at any given moment, a best path .. A thing which, here and now, it were of all things wisest for him to do .. To find this path, and walk in it, is the one thing needful for him.
Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
It is no very good symptom, either of nations or individuals, that they deal much in vaticination.

Our grand business undoubtedly is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what clearly lies at hand.
Thomas Carlyle
Every noble work is at first impossible.
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

Thomas Carlyle
Heroes have gone out quacks have come in the reign of quacks has not ended with the nineteenth century. The sceptre is held with a firmer grasp the empire has a wider boundary. We are all the slaves of quackery in one shape or another. Indeed, one portion of our being is always playing the successful quack to the other.
Thomas Carlyle
Acorns are planted silently by some unnoticed breeze.
Thomas Carlyle
A loving heart is the beginning of all knowledge.
Thomas Carlyle
Rightly viewed no meanest object is insignificant all objects are as windows through which the philosophic eye looks into infinitude itself.
Thomas Carlyle
Every man has a coward and hero in his soul.
Thomas Carlyle
Only perhaps in the United States, which alone of countries can do without governing,every man being at least able to live, and move off into the wilderness, let Congress jargon as it will,can such a form of so-called Government continue for any length of time to torment men with the semblance, when the indispensable substance is not there.
Thomas Carlyle
In the huge mass of evil as it rolls and swells, there is ever some good working toward deliverance and triumph.
Thomas Carlyle
A word spoken in season, at the right moment is the mother of ages.
Thomas Carlyle
