More quotes by Thomas Carlyle
Work is the grand cure of all the maladies and miseries that ever beset mankind.
Thomas Carlyle
It is no very good symptom, either of nations or individuals, that they deal much in vaticination. Happy men are full of the present, for its bounty suffices them and wise men also, for its duties engage them. Our grand business undoubtedly is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what clearly lies at hand.
Thomas Carlyle
A Fourth Estate, of Able Editors, springs up.
Thomas Carlyle
Of a truth, men are mystically united: a mystic bond of brotherhood makes all men one.
Thomas Carlyle
The mystical bond of brotherhood makes all men brothers.
Thomas Carlyle
The All of Things is an infinite conjugation of the verb To do .
Thomas Carlyle
A very sea of thought neither calm nor clear, if you will, yet wherein the toughest pearl-diver may dive to his utmost depth, and return not only with sea-wreck but with true orients.
Thomas Carlyle
A stammering man is never a worthless one. Physiology can tell you why. It is an excess of sensibility to the presence of his fellow creature, that makes him stammer.
Thomas Carlyle
The end of Man is an Action, and not a Thought, though it were the noblest?
Thomas Carlyle
If there be not a religious element in the relations of men, such relations are miserable and doomed to ruin.
Thomas Carlyle
Also, what mountains of dead ashes, wreck and burnt bones, does assiduous pedantry dig up from the past time and name it History.
Thomas Carlyle
The soul gives unity to what it looks at with love.
Thomas Carlyle
Work earnestly at anything, you will by degrees learn to work at all things.
Thomas Carlyle
A poor creature who has said or done nothing worth a serious man taking the trouble of remembering.
Thomas Carlyle
In a symbol there is concealment and yet revelation: here therefore, by Silence and by Speech acting together, comes a double significance.
Thomas Carlyle
The scandalous bronze-lacquer age of hungry animalisms, spiritual impotences, and mendacities, will have to run its course, till the pit follow it.
Thomas Carlyle
Teach a parrot the terms 'supply and demand' and you've got an economist.
Thomas Carlyle
Heroes, it would seem, exist always and a certain worship of them.
Thomas Carlyle
Rich as we are in biography, a well-written life is almost as rare as a well-spent one and there are certainly many more men whose history deserves to be recorded than persons willing and able to record it.
Thomas Carlyle
Evil and good are everywhere, like shadow and substance inseparable (for men) yet not hostile, only opposed.
Thomas Carlyle
