More quotes by Thomas Carlyle

Teach a parrot the terms 'supply and demand' and you've got an economist.
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
Culture is the process by which a person becomes all that they were created capable of being.
Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
All human souls, never so bedarkened, love light light once kindled spreads till all is luminous.
Thomas Carlyle
Show me the man you honor I know by that symptom, better than by any other, what kind of man you yourself are. For you show me there what your ideal of manhood is what kind of man you long inexpressibly to be.
Thomas Carlyle
There is a majesty and mystery in nature, take her as you will. The essence of poetry comes breathing to a mind that feels from every province of her empire.
Thomas Carlyle
Not brute force but only persuasion and faith are the kings of this world.
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
The graceful minuet-dance of fancy must give place to the toilsome, thorny pilgrimage of understanding. On the transition from the age of romance to that of science.
Thomas Carlyle
The word of Mohammad is a voice direct from nature's own heart - all else is wind in comparison.
Thomas Carlyle
