More quotes by Thomas Carlyle
The fine arts once divorcing themselves from truth are quite certain to fall mad, if they do not die.
Thomas Carlyle
Not on morality, but on cookery, let us build our stronghold: there brandishing our frying-pan, as censer, let us offer sweet incense to the Devil, and live at ease on the fat things he has provided for his elect!
Thomas Carlyle
Roguery is thought by some to be cunning and laughable: it is neither it is devilish.
Thomas Carlyle
There must be a new world if there is to be any world at all!... These days of universal death must be days of universal new birth, if the ruin is not to be total and final! It is Time to make the dullest man consider and ask himself, Whence he came? Whither he is bound?
Thomas Carlyle
Every noble crown is, and on Earth will forever be, a crown of thorns.
Thomas Carlyle
The first sin in our universe was Lucifer's self conceit.
Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
No age seemed the age of romance to itself.
Thomas Carlyle
Acorns are planted silently by some unnoticed breeze.
Thomas Carlyle
A dandy is a clothes-wearing man--a man whose trade, office, and existence consist in the wearing of clothes. Every faculty of his soul, spirit, person and purse is heroically consecrated to this one object--the wearing of clothes, wisely and well so that, as others dress to live, he lives to dress.
Thomas Carlyle
I call that [Book of Job], apart from all theories about it, one of the grandest things ever written with pen.
Thomas Carlyle
All true work is sacred. In all true work, were it but true hand work, there is something of divineness. Labor, wide as the earth, has its summit in Heaven.
Thomas Carlyle
A man perfects himself by working. Foul jungles are cleared away, fair seed-fields rise instead, and stately cities and with the man himself first ceases to be a jungle, and foul unwholesome desert thereby. The man is now a man.
Thomas Carlyle
The mystical bond of brotherhood makes all men brothers.
Thomas Carlyle
In every phenomenon the beginning remains always the most notable moment.
Thomas Carlyle
True friends, like ivy and the wall Both stand together, and together fall.
Thomas Carlyle
A thought once awakened does not again slumber.
Thomas Carlyle
