More quotes by Thomas Carlyle
There is precious instruction to be got by finding we were wrong.
Thomas Carlyle
No iron chain, or outward force of any kind, could ever compel the soul of man to believe or to disbelieve: it is his own indefeasible light, that judgment of his he will reign and believe there by the grace of God alone!
Thomas Carlyle
They wrong man greatly who say he is to be seduced by ease. Difficulty, abnegation, martyrdom, death are the allurements that act on the heart of man.
Thomas Carlyle
A false man found a religion? Why, a false man cannot build a brick house!
Thomas Carlyle
Dishonesty is the raw material not of quacks only, but also in great part dupes.
Thomas Carlyle
History is the essence of innumerable biographies.
Thomas Carlyle
Government is emphatically a machine: to the discontented a taxing machine, to the contented a machine for securing property.
Thomas Carlyle
All human souls, never so bedarkened, love light light once kindled spreads till all is luminous.
Thomas Carlyle
The most unhappy of all men is the man who cannot tell what he is going to do, who has got no work cut-out for him in the world, and does not go into it. For work is the grand cure of all the maladies and miseries that ever beset mankind,honest work, which you intend getting done.
Thomas Carlyle
Every noble crown is, and on Earth will forever be, a crown of thorns.
Thomas Carlyle
If there be no enemy there's no fight. If no fight, no victory and if no victory there is no crown.
Thomas Carlyle
No man at bottom means injustice it is always for some obscure distorted image of a right that he contends: an obscure image diffracted, exaggerated, in the wonderfulest way by natural dimness and selfishness getting tenfold more diffracted by exasperation of contest, till at length it become all but irrecognis-able.
Thomas Carlyle
Speech is too often not the art of concealing thought, but of quite stifling and suspending thought, so that there is none to conceal.
Thomas Carlyle
Wondrous is the strength of cheerfulness, altogether past calculation its powers of endurance.
Thomas Carlyle
A poor creature who has said or done nothing worth a serious man taking the trouble of remembering.
Thomas Carlyle
The situation that has not its duty, its ideal, was never yet occupied by man. Yes, here, in this poor, miserable, hampered, despicable actual, wherein thou even now standest, here or nowhere is thy ideal work it out therefrom, and, working, believe, live, be free. Fool! the ideal is in thyself.
Thomas Carlyle
Love is ever the beginning of knowledge as fire is of light.
Thomas Carlyle
The Ideal is in thyself, the impediments too is in thyself.
Thomas Carlyle
Infinite is the help man can yield to man.
Thomas Carlyle
The Highest Being reveals himself in man.
Thomas Carlyle
