Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
Pain was not given thee merely to be miserable under learn from it, turn it to account.
Thomas Carlyle
What you see, but can't see over is as good as infinite.
Thomas Carlyle
No iron chain, or outward force of any kind, could ever compel the soul of man to believe or to disbelieve: it is his own indefeasible light, that judgment of his he will reign and believe there by the grace of God alone!
Thomas Carlyle
In a certain sense all men are historians.
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
Who is it that loves me and will love me forever with an affection which no chance, no misery, no crime of mine can do away? It is you, my mother.
Thomas Carlyle
To the mean eye all things are trivial, as certainly as to the jaundiced they are yellow.
Thomas Carlyle
All work of man is as the swimmer's: a vast ocean threatens to devour him if he front it not bravely, it will keep its word.
Thomas Carlyle
