Thomas Carlyle
It is a fact which escapes no one, that, generally speaking, whoso is acquainted with his worth has but a little stock to cultivate acquaintance with.

Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
Blessed is he who has found his work let him ask no other blessedness. He has a work, a Life-purpose... Get your happiness out of your work or you will never know what real happiness is... Even in the meanest sorts of Labour, the whole soul of a man is composed into a kind of real harmony the instant he sets himself to work!
Thomas Carlyle
Men are grown mechanical in head and in the heart, as well as in the hand. They have lost faith in individual endeavour, and in natural force of any kind.
Thomas Carlyle
A man protesting against error is on the way towards uniting himself with all men that believe in truth.
Thomas Carlyle
Money, in truth, can do much, but it cannot do all. We must know the province of it, and confine it there, and even spurn it back when it wishes to get farther.
Thomas Carlyle
In every object there is inexhaustible meaning the eye sees in it what the eye brings means of seeing.
Thomas Carlyle
A Fourth Estate, of Able Editors, springs up.
Thomas Carlyle
As there is no danger of our becoming, any of us, Mahometans (i.e. Muslim), I mean to say all the good of him I justly can.

Thomas Carlyle
