The steam-engine I call fire-...

The steam-engine I call fire-demon and great; but it is nothing to the invention of fire.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

All work is as seed sown; it ...

All work is as seed sown; it grows and spreads, and sows itself anew.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

The graceful minuet-dance of ...

The graceful minuet-dance of fancy must give place to the toilsome, thorny pilgrimage of understanding. On the transition from the age of romance to that of science.

Out of Eternity the new day is born; Into Eternity at night will return.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

It is well said, in every sense, that a man's religion is the chief fact with regard to him.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

If you will believe me, you w...

If you will believe me, you who are young, yours is the golden season of life. As you have heard it called, so it verily is, the seed-time of life; in which, if you do not sow, or if you sow tares instead of wheat, you cannot expect to reap well afterwards, and you will arrive at little. And in the course of years when you come to look back, if you have not done what you have heard from your advisers,-and among many counsellors there is wisdom,-you will bitterly repent when it is too late.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

That a Parliament, especially...

That a Parliament, especially a Parliament with Newspaper Reporters firmly established in it, is an entity which by its very nature cannot do work, but can do talk only.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Rightly viewed no meanest obj...

Rightly viewed no meanest object is insignificant; all objects are as windows through which the philosophic eye looks into infinitude itself.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Love not pleasure; love God. ...

Love not pleasure; love God. This is the Everlasting Yea, wherein all contradiction is solved.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

For the superior morality, of...

For the superior morality, of which we hear so much, we too would desire to be thankful: at the same time, it were but blindness to deny that this superior morality is properly rather an inferior criminality, produced not by greater love of Virtue, but by greater perfection of Police; and of that far subtler and stronger Police, called Public Opinion.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Evil, once manfully fronted, ...

Evil, once manfully fronted, ceases to be evil; there is generous battle-hope in place of dead, passive misery; the evil itself has become a kind of good.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Ever, as before, does Madness...

Ever, as before, does Madness remain a mysterious-terrific, altogether infernal boiling-up of the Nether Chaotic Deep, through this fair-painted Vision of Creation, which swims thereon, which we name the Real.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

When I gaze into the stars, t...

When I gaze into the stars, they look down upon me with pity from their serene and silent spaces, like eyes glistening with tears over the little lot of man. Thousands of generations, all as noisy as our own, have been swallowed up by time, and there remains no record of them any more. Yet Arcturus and Orion, Sirius and Pleiades, are still shining in their courses, clear and young, as when the shepherd first noted them in the plain of Shinar!

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Have not I myself known five ...

Have not I myself known five hundred living soldiers sabred into crows' meat for a piece of glazed cotton, which they call their flag; which had you sold it at any market-cross, would not have brought above three groschen?

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

The true epic of our times is...

The true epic of our times is not "Arm's and the Man," but "Tools and the Man"--an infinitely wider kind of epic.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Also, what mountains of dead ...

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 1193 quotes

The true Sovereign of the wor...

The true Sovereign of the world, who moulds the world like soft wax, according to his pleasure, is he who lovingly sees into the world.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Society is founded on hero-worship.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

All sorts of Heroes are intri...

All sorts of Heroes are intrinsically of the same material; that given a great soul, open to the Divine Significance of Life, then there is given a man fit to speak of this, to sing of this, to fight and work for this, in a great, victorious, enduring manner; there is given a Hero, -- the outward shape of whom will depend on the time and the environment he finds himself in.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

What a wretched thing is all ...

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.
