More quotes by Thomas Carlyle
Does not every true man feel that he is himself made higher by doing reverence to what is really above him?
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
Democracy will itself accomplish the salutary universal change from delusive to real, and make a new blessed world of us by and by.
Thomas Carlyle
Wealth of a man is the number of things which he loves and blesses which he is loved and blessed by.
Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle

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

Thomas Carlyle
The end of Man is an Action, and not a Thought, though it were the noblest?
Thomas Carlyle
A good book is the purest essence of a human soul.
Thomas Carlyle
Acorns are planted silently by some unnoticed breeze.
Thomas Carlyle
The highest ensign that men ever met and embraced under, the Cross itself, had no meaning save an accidental extrinsic one.
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
Pain was not given thee merely to be miserable under learn from it, turn it to account.
Thomas Carlyle
Nothing builds self-esteem and self-confidence like accomplishment.
Thomas Carlyle
See deep enough, and you see musically.
Thomas Carlyle
