More quotes by Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
Earnestness alone makes life eternity.
Thomas Carlyle
What this country needs is a man who knows God other than by heresay.
Thomas Carlyle
No nobler feeling than this, of admiration for one higher than himself, dwells in the breast of man. It is to this hour, and at all hours, the vivifying influence in man's life.
Thomas Carlyle
This world, after all our science and sciences, is still a miracle wonderful, inscrutable, magical and more, to whosoever will think of it.
Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
If time is precious, no book that will not improve by repeated readings deserves to be read at all.
Thomas Carlyle
He that works and does some Poem, not he that merely says one, is worthy of the name of Poet.
Thomas Carlyle
Every human being has a right to hear what other wise human beings have spoken to him. It is one of the Rights of Men a very cruel injustice if you deny it to a man!
Thomas Carlyle
Science must have originated in the feeling that something was wrong.
Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
The hell of these days is the fear of not getting along, especially of not making money.
Thomas Carlyle
Happy season of virtuous youth, when shame is still an impassable barrier, and the sacred air-cities of hope have not shrunk into the mean clay hamlets of reality and man, by his nature, is yet infinite and free.
Thomas Carlyle
With union grounded on falsehood and ordering us to speak and act lies, we will not have anything to do. Peace? A brutal lethargy is peaceable the noisome is peaceable. We hope for a living peace, not a dead one!
Thomas Carlyle
History shows that the majority of people that have done anything great have passed their youth in seclusion.
Thomas Carlyle
Great is wisdom infinite is the value of wisdom. It cannot be exaggerated it is the highest achievement of man.
Thomas Carlyle
In a symbol there is concealment and yet revelation: here therefore, by Silence and by Speech acting together, comes a double significance.
Thomas Carlyle
There is precious instruction to be got by finding we were wrong.
Thomas Carlyle
He who talks much about virtue in the abstract, begins to be suspected it is shrewdly guessed that where there is great preaching there will be little almsgiving.
Thomas Carlyle
