More quotes by Thomas Carlyle
Piety does not mean that a man should make a sour face about things, and refuse to enjoy in moderation what his Maker has given.
Thomas Carlyle
Before philosophy can teach by Experience, the Philosophy has to be in readiness, the Experience must be gathered and intelligibly recorded.
Thomas Carlyle
Nature, after all, is still the grand agent in making poets.
Thomas Carlyle
Blessed is he who has found his work let him ask no other blessedness. He has a work, a life-purpose he has found it, and will follow it! How, as a free-flowing channel, dug and torn by noble force through the sour mudswamp of one's existence, like an ever-deepening river there, it runs and flows
Thomas Carlyle
A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder.
Thomas Carlyle
A man ought to inquire and find out what he really and truly has an appetite for what suits his constitution and that, doctors tell him, is the very thing he ought to have in general. And so with books.
Thomas Carlyle
Every new opinion, at its starting, is precisely in a minority of one.
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
Acorns are planted silently by some unnoticed breeze.
Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
I came hither [Craigenputtoch] solely with the design to simplify my way of life and to secure the independence through which I could be enabled to remain true to myself.
Thomas Carlyle
Of all the paths a man could strike into, there is, at any given moment, a best path .. A thing which, here and now, it were of all things wisest for him to do .. To find this path, and walk in it, is the one thing needful for him.
Thomas Carlyle
How, without clothes, could we possess the master organ, soul's seat and true pineal gland of the body social--I mean a purse?
Thomas Carlyle
The beginning of all wisdom is to look fixedly on clothes, or even with armed eyesight, till they become transparent.
Thomas Carlyle
Thought once awakened does not again slumber unfolds itself into a System of Thought grows, in man after man, generation after generation, - till its full stature is reached, and such System of Thought can grow no farther, but must give place to another.
Thomas Carlyle
There is a perennial nobleness, and even sacredness, in work. Were he never so benighted, forgetful of his high calling, there is always hope in a man that actually and earnestly works: in idleness alone there is perpetual despair.
Thomas Carlyle
Language is called the garment of thought: however, it should rather be, language is the flesh-garment, the body, of thought.
Thomas Carlyle
A pygmy standing on the outward crust of this small planet, his far-reaching spirit stretches outward to the infinite, and there alone finds rest.
Thomas Carlyle
We have not read an author till we have seen his object, whatever it may be, as he saw it.
Thomas Carlyle
Affectation is the product of falsehood.
Thomas Carlyle
