More quotes by Thomas Carlyle
It is well said, in every sense, that a man's religion is the chief fact with regard to him.
Thomas Carlyle
The true past departs not, no truth or goodness realized by man ever dies, or can die but all is still here, and, recognized or not, lives and works through endless change.
Thomas Carlyle
See deep enough, and you see musically.
Thomas Carlyle
As there is no danger of our becoming, any of us, Mahometans (i.e. Muslim), I mean to say all the good of him I justly can.
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
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
The Orator persuades and carries all with him, he knows not how the Rhetorician can prove that he ought to have persuaded and carried all with him.
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

Thomas Carlyle
Science has done much for us but it is a poor science that would hide from us the great deep sacred infinitude of Nescience, on which all science swims as a mere superficial film.
Thomas Carlyle
Insurrection, never so necessary, is a most sad necessity and governors who wait for that to instruct them are surely getting into the fatalest course.
Thomas Carlyle
Clean undeniable right, clear undeniable might: either of these once ascertained puts an end to battle. All battle is a confused experiment to ascertain one and both of these.
Thomas Carlyle
Our grand business undoubtedly is, not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand.
Thomas Carlyle
All human souls, never so bedarkened, love light light once kindled spreads till all is luminous.
Thomas Carlyle
The sincere alone can recognize sincerity.
Thomas Carlyle
Egotism is the source and summary of all faults and miseries.
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
Evil and good are everywhere, like shadow and substance inseparable (for men) yet not hostile, only opposed.
Thomas Carlyle
In every object there is inexhaustible meaning the eye sees in it what the eye brings means of seeing.
Thomas Carlyle
The greatest fault is to be conscious of none.
Thomas Carlyle
