More quotes by Thomas Carlyle
Every noble work is at first impossible.
Thomas Carlyle
The first duty of man is to conquer fear he must get rid of it, he cannot act till then.
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
The latest gospel in this world is, know thy work and do it.
Thomas Carlyle
O Time! Time! how it brings forth and devours! And the roaring flood of existence rushes on forever similar, forever changing!
Thomas Carlyle
Let a man try faithfully, manfully to be right he will grow daily more and more right. It is at bottom the condition on which all men have to cultivate themselves.
Thomas Carlyle
Today is not yesterday: we ourselves change how can our works and thoughts, if they are always to be the fittest, continue always the same? Change, indeed is painful yet ever needful and if memory have its force and worth, so also has hope.
Thomas Carlyle
A battle is a terrible conjugation of the verb to kill: I kill, thou killest, he kills, we kill, they kill, all kill.
Thomas Carlyle
Infinite is the help man can yield to man.
Thomas Carlyle
Conviction never so excellent, is worthless until it coverts itself into conduct.
Thomas Carlyle
Habit is the deepest law of human nature
Thomas Carlyle
The leafy blossoming present time springs from the whole past, remembered and unrememberable.
Thomas Carlyle
The infinite, absolute character of Virtue has passed into a finite, conditional one it is no longer a worship of the Beautiful and Good but a calculation of the Profitable.
Thomas Carlyle
True humor springs not more from the head than from the heart. It is not contempt its essence is love. It issues not in laughter, but in still smiles, which lie far deeper.
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
Evil and good are everywhere, like shadow and substance inseparable (for men) yet not hostile, only opposed.
Thomas Carlyle
Music is well said to be the speech of angels in fact, nothing among the utterances allowed to man is felt to be so divine. It brings us near to the infinite.
Thomas Carlyle
Misery which, through long ages, had no spokesman, no helper, will now be its own helper and speak for itself.
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
The Highest Being reveals himself in man.
Thomas Carlyle
