Every day that is born into the world comes like a burst of music and rings the whole day through, and you make of it a dance, a dirge, or a life march, as you will.
Thomas Carlyle
Today is not yesterday: we ourselves change how can our works and thoughts, if they are always to be the fittest, continue always the same? Change, indeed is painful yet ever needful and if memory have its force and worth, so also has hope.
Thomas Carlyle
It is a mathematical fact that the casting of this pebble from my hand alters the centre of gravity of the universe.
Thomas Carlyle
We have not read an author till we have seen his object, whatever it may be, as he saw it.
Thomas Carlyle
What a wretched thing is all fame! A renown of the highest sort endures, say, for two thousand years. And then? Why, then, a fathomless eternity swallows it. Work for eternity not the meagre rhetorical eternity of the periodical critics, but for the real eternity wherein dwelleth the Divine.
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
Blessed is he who has found his work let him ask no other blessedness.
Thomas Carlyle
The vulgarity of inanimate things requires time to get accustomed to but living, breathing, bustling, plotting, planning, human vulgarity is a species of moral ipecacuanha, enough to destroy any comfort.
Thomas Carlyle
The thing is not only to avoid error, but to attain immense masses of truth.
Thomas Carlyle
