More quotes by Thomas Carlyle
And yet without labour there were no ease, no rest, so much as conceivable.
Thomas Carlyle
To the mean eye all things are trivial, as certainly as to the jaundiced they are yellow.
Thomas Carlyle
Does not every true man feel that he is himself made higher by doing reverence to what is really above him?
Thomas Carlyle
They wrong man greatly who say he is to be seduced by ease. Difficulty, abnegation, martyrdom, death are the allurements that act on the heart of man.
Thomas Carlyle
Out of the lowest depths there is a path to the loftiest heights.
Thomas Carlyle
The cut of a garment speaks of intellect and talent and the color of temperament and heart.
Thomas Carlyle
All great peoples are conservative.
Thomas Carlyle
History is the new poetry.
Thomas Carlyle
Clean undeniable right, clear undeniable might: either of these once ascertained puts an end to battle. All battle is a confused experiment to ascertain one and both of these.
Thomas Carlyle
Thought is the parent of the deed.
Thomas Carlyle
He that can work is born to be king of something.
Thomas Carlyle
Egotism is the source and summary of all faults and miseries.
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
Nothing stops the man who desires to achieve. Every obstacle is simply a course to develop his achievement muscle. It's a strengthening of his powers of accomplishment.
Thomas Carlyle
O thou who art able to write a book which once in the two centuries or oftener there is a man gifted to do, envy not him whom they name city-builder, and inexpressibly pity him whom they name conqueror or city-burner.
Thomas Carlyle
When new turns of behavior cease to appear in the life of the individual, its behavior ceases to be intelligent.
Thomas Carlyle
The English are a dumb people. They can do great acts, but not describe them.
Thomas Carlyle
The choking, sweltering, deadly, and killing rule of no rule the consecration of cupidity and braying of folly, and dim stupidity and baseness, in most of the affairs of men. Slopshirts attainable three-halfpence cheaper by the ruin of living bodies and immortal souls.
Thomas Carlyle
The eye of the intellect sees in all objects what it brought with it the means of seeing.
Thomas Carlyle
Unity, agreement, is always silent or soft-voiced it is only discord that loudly proclaims itself.
Thomas Carlyle
