Thomas Carlyle
Thought is the parent of the deed.
Thomas Carlyle
Every human being has a right to hear what other wise human beings have spoken to him. It is one of the Rights of Men a very cruel injustice if you deny it to a man!
Thomas Carlyle
There is something in man which your science cannot satisfy.
Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
In the true Literary Man there is thus ever, acknowledged or not by the world, a sacredness: he is the light of the world the world's Priest -- guiding it, like a sacred Pillar of Fire, in its dark pilgrimage through the waste of Time.
Thomas Carlyle
With union grounded on falsehood and ordering us to speak and act lies, we will not have anything to do. Peace? A brutal lethargy is peaceable the noisome is peaceable. We hope for a living peace, not a dead one!
Thomas Carlyle
Evil and good are everywhere, like shadow and substance inseparable (for men) yet not hostile, only opposed.
Thomas Carlyle
Habit is the deepest law of human nature
Thomas Carlyle
Laws, written, if not on stone tables, yet on the azure of infinitude, in the inner heart of God's creation, certain as life, certain as death, are there, and thou shalt not disobey them.
Thomas Carlyle
Genuine Work alone, what thou workest faithfully, that is eternal, as the Almighty Founder and World-Builder himself.
Thomas Carlyle
All work is as seed sown it grows and spreads, and sows itself anew.
Thomas Carlyle
Love is ever the beginning of knowledge as fire is of light.
Thomas Carlyle
The beginning of all wisdom is to look fixedly on clothes, or even with armed eyesight, till they become transparent.
Thomas Carlyle
Thou fool! Nature alone is antique, and the oldest art a mushroom that idle crag thou sittest on is six thousand years of age.
Thomas Carlyle
Speech that leads not to action, still more that hinders it, is a nuisance on the earth.
Thomas Carlyle
Enjoying things which are pleasant that is not the evil it is the reducing of our moral self to slavery by them that is.
Thomas Carlyle
One monster there is in the world, the idle man.
Thomas Carlyle
