More quotes by Thomas Carlyle
If time is precious, no book that will not improve by repeated readings deserves to be read at all.
Thomas Carlyle
I have seen gleams in the face and eyes of the man that have let you look into a higher country.
Thomas Carlyle
Statistics, one may hope, will improve gradually, and become good for something. Meanwhile, it is to be feared the crabbed satirist was partly right, as things go: A judicious man, says he, looks at Statistics, not to get knowledge, but to save himself from having ignorance foisted on him.
Thomas Carlyle
To the mean eye all things are trivial, as certainly as to the jaundiced they are yellow.
Thomas Carlyle
Unity, agreement, is always silent or soft-voiced it is only discord that loudly proclaims itself.
Thomas Carlyle
For man is not the creature and product of Mechanism but, in a far truer sense, its creator and producer.
Thomas Carlyle
There is so much data available to us, but most data won't help us succeed.
Thomas Carlyle
The leafy blossoming present time springs from the whole past, remembered and unrememberable.
Thomas Carlyle
Nothing builds self-esteem and self-confidence like accomplishment.
Thomas Carlyle
Heroes, it would seem, exist always and a certain worship of them.
Thomas Carlyle
The difference between Socrates and Jesus? The great conscious and the immeasurably great unconscious.
Thomas Carlyle
Evil and good are everywhere, like shadow and substance inseparable (for men) yet not hostile, only opposed.
Thomas Carlyle
It is no very good symptom, either of nations or individuals, that they deal much in vaticination. Happy men are full of the present, for its bounty suffices them and wise men also, for its duties engage them. Our grand business undoubtedly is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what clearly lies at hand.
Thomas Carlyle
There is often more spiritual force in a proverb than in whole philosophical systems.
Thomas Carlyle
The great silent man! Looking round on the noisy inanity of the world,--words with little meaning, actions with little worth,--one loves to reflect on the great Empire of Silence.
Thomas Carlyle
The first duty of man is that of subduing fear.
Thomas Carlyle
In every phenomenon the beginning remains always the most notable moment.
Thomas Carlyle
My books are friends that never fail me.
Thomas Carlyle
A good book is the purest essence of a human soul.
Thomas Carlyle
Instead of saying that man is the creature of circumstance, it would be nearer the mark to say that man is the architect of circumstance.
Thomas Carlyle
