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
Authors are the vanguard in the march of mind, the intellectual backwoodsmen, reclaiming from the idle wilderness new territories for the thought and activity of their happier brethren.
Thomas Carlyle
There is always hope in a man that actually and earnestly works: in Idleness alone is there perpetual despair.
Thomas Carlyle
Hero-worship exists, has existed, and will forever exist, universally, among mankind.
Thomas Carlyle
Thou fool! Nature alone is antique, and the oldest art a mushroom that idle crag thou sittest on is six thousand years of age.
Thomas Carlyle
Culture is the process by which a person becomes all that they were created capable of being.
Thomas Carlyle
Oblivion is the dark page, whereon Memory writes her light-beam characters, and makes them legible were it all light, nothing could be read there, any more than if it were all darkness.
Thomas Carlyle
