More quotes by Thomas Carlyle
Shakespeare says, we are creatures that look before and after the more surprising that we do not look around a little, and see what is passing under our very eyes.
Thomas Carlyle
To a shower of gold most things are penetrable.
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
Blessed be the God's voice for it is true, and falsehoods have to cease before it!
Thomas Carlyle
A thought once awakened does not again slumber.
Thomas Carlyle
The tragedy of life is not so much what men suffer, but rather what they miss.
Thomas Carlyle
They only are wise who know that they know nothing.
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 Present is the living sum-total of the whole Past.
Thomas Carlyle
Whose school-hours are all the days and nights of our existence.
Thomas Carlyle
I grow daily to honour facts more and more, and theory less and less. A fact, it seems to me, is a great thing a sentence printed, if not by God, then at least by the Devil.
Thomas Carlyle
Of a truth, men are mystically united: a mystic bond of brotherhood makes all men one.
Thomas Carlyle
The Builder of this Universe was wise, He plann'd all souls, all systems, planets, particles: The Plan He shap'd all Worlds and Æons by, Was-Heavens!-was thy small Nine-and-thirty Articles!
Thomas Carlyle
Happy season of childhood! Kind Nature, that art to all a bountiful mother that visitest the poor man's hut With auroral radiance and for thy nursling hast provided a soft swathing of love and infinite hope wherein he waxes and slumbers, danced round by sweetest dreams!
Thomas Carlyle
For man is not the creature and product of Mechanism but, in a far truer sense, its creator and producer.
Thomas Carlyle
The best effect of any book is that it excites the reader to self activity.
Thomas Carlyle
At worst, is not this an unjust world, full of nothing but beasts of prey, four-footed or two-footed?
Thomas Carlyle
Science must have originated in the feeling that something was wrong.
Thomas Carlyle
The Christian must be consumed by the conviction of the infinite beauty of holiness and the infinite damnability of sin.
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
