More quotes by Thomas Carlyle
No nobler feeling than this, of admiration for one higher than himself, dwells in the breast of man. It is to this hour, and at all hours, the vivifying influence in man's life.
Thomas Carlyle
We have not the love of greatness, but the love of the love of greatness.
Thomas Carlyle
Men do less than they ought, unless they do all they can.
Thomas Carlyle
A strong mind always hopes, and has always cause to hope.
Thomas Carlyle

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
The greatest mistake is to imagine that we never err.
Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
To a shower of gold most things are penetrable.
Thomas Carlyle
Talk that does not end in any kind of action is better suppressed altogether.
Thomas Carlyle
Wise man was he who counselled that speculation should have free course, and look fearlessly towards all the thirty-two points of the compass, whithersoever and howsoever it listed.
Thomas Carlyle
There is so much data available to us, but most data won't help us succeed.
Thomas Carlyle
Wondrous is the strength of cheerfulness, altogether past calculation its powers of endurance.
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
How great a Possibility, how small a realized Result.
Thomas Carlyle
We have not read an author till we have seen his object, whatever it may be, as he saw it.
Thomas Carlyle
An everlasting lodestar, that beams the brighter in the heavens the darker here on earth grows the night.
Thomas Carlyle
Of all God's creatures, Man alone is poor.
Thomas Carlyle
