More quotes by Thomas Carlyle
Talk that does not end in any kind of action is better suppressed altogether.
Thomas Carlyle
Wealth of a man is the number of things which he loves and blesses which he is loved and blessed by.
Thomas Carlyle
What unknown seas of feeling lie in man, and will from time to time break through!
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
Originality is a thing we constantly clamour for, and constantly quarrel with.
Thomas Carlyle
Why did not somebody teach me the constellations, and make me at home in the starry heavens, which are always overhead, and which I don't half know to this day?
Thomas Carlyle
The thing is not only to avoid error, but to attain immense masses of truth.
Thomas Carlyle
Does not every true man feel that he is himself made higher by doing reverence to what is really above him?
Thomas Carlyle
Cherish what is dearest while you have it near you, and wait not till it is far away. Blind and deaf that we are oh, think, if thou yet love anybody living, wait not till death sweep down the paltry little dust clouds and dissonances of the moment, and all be made at last so mournfully clear and beautiful, when it is too late.
Thomas Carlyle
The great silent man! Looking round on the noisy inanity of the world,--words with little meaning, actions with little worth,--one loves to reflect on the great Empire of Silence.
Thomas Carlyle
The eye of the intellect sees in all objects what it brought with it the means of seeing.
Thomas Carlyle
Eternity looks grander and kinder if time grow meaner and more hostile.
Thomas Carlyle
The great law of culture is, Let each become all that he was created capable of being expand, if possible, to his full growth resisting all impediments, casting off all foreign, especially all noxious adhesions, and show himself at length in his own shape and stature be these what they may.
Thomas Carlyle
Egotism is the source and summary of all faults and miseries.
Thomas Carlyle
What you see, but can't see over is as good as infinite.
Thomas Carlyle
True humor springs not more from the head than from the heart. It is not contempt its essence is love. It issues not in laughter, but in still smiles, which lie far deeper.
Thomas Carlyle
The world is a thing that a man must learn to despise, and even to neglect, before he can learn to reverence it, and work in it and for it.
Thomas Carlyle
The tragedy of life is not so much what men suffer, but rather what they miss.
Thomas Carlyle
A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder.
Thomas Carlyle
The mystical bond of brotherhood makes all men brothers.
Thomas Carlyle
