More quotes by Thomas Carlyle
The crash of the whole solar and stellar systems could only kill you once.
Thomas Carlyle
What unknown seas of feeling lie in man, and will from time to time break through!
Thomas Carlyle
No great man lives in vain. The history of the world is but the biography of great men.
Thomas Carlyle
True friends, like ivy and the wall Both stand together, and together fall.
Thomas Carlyle
Conclusive facts are inseparable from inconclusive except by a head that already understands and knows.
Thomas Carlyle
Conviction is worthless unless it is converted into conduct.
Thomas Carlyle
In idleness there is a perpetual despair.
Thomas Carlyle
Obedience is our universal duty and destiny wherein whoso will not bend must break too early and too thoroughly we cannot be trained to know that would, in this world of ours, is a mere zero to should, and for most part as the smallest of fractions even to shall.
Thomas Carlyle
Little other than a red tape Talking-machine, and unhappy Bag of Parliamentary Eloquence.
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
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
My books are friends that never fail me.
Thomas Carlyle
Thirty millions, mostly fools.
Thomas Carlyle
I have seen gleams in the face and eyes of the man that have let you look into a higher country.
Thomas Carlyle
Speech is too often not the art of concealing thought, but of quite stifling and suspending thought, so that there is none to conceal.
Thomas Carlyle
It is in general more profitable to reckon up our defeats than to boast of our attainments.
Thomas Carlyle
Of a truth, men are mystically united: a mystic bond of brotherhood makes all men one.
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
Long stormy spring-time, wet contentious April, winter chilling the lap of very May but at length the season of summer does come.
Thomas Carlyle
What we become depends on what we read after all of the professors have finished with us. The greatest university of all is a collection of books.
Thomas Carlyle
