The weakest living creature, ...

The weakest living creature, by concentrating his powers on a single object, can accomplish something. The strongest, by dispensing his over many, may fail to accomplish anything. The drop, by continually falling, bores its passage through the hardest rock. The hasty torrent rushes over it with hideous uproar, and leaves no trace behind.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

The secret of business is to ...

The secret of business is to know something that nobody else knows. The greatest of faults, I should say is to be conscious of none.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Woe to him, . . . who has no ...

Woe to him, . . . who has no court of appeal against the world's judgment.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Cherish what is dearest while...

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 1193 quotes

A person with a clear purpose...

A person with a clear purpose will make progress, even on the roughest road. A person with no purpose will make no progress, even on the smoothest road.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

There are but two ways of pay...

There are but two ways of paying debt: Increase of industry in raising income, increase of thrift in laying out.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Of all God's creatures, Man a...

Of all God's creatures, Man alone is poor.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Money, in truth, can do much,...

Money, in truth, can do much, but it cannot do all. We must know the province of it, and confine it there, and even spurn it back when it wishes to get farther.

Virtue is like health: the harmony of the whole man.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

No man sees far, most see no ...

No man sees far, most see no farther than their noses.

One life; a little gleam of Time between two Eternities; no second chance to us for evermore!

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Democracy means despair of finding any heroes to govern you, and contented putting up with the want of them.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Laws themselves, political Co...

Laws themselves, political Constitutions, are not our Life; but only the house wherein our Life is led.

Just in the ratio knowledge increases, faith decreases.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Science has done much for us;...

Science has done much for us; but it is a poor science that would hide from us the great deep sacred infinitude of Nescience, on which all science swims as a mere superficial film.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Cash-payment never was, or co...

Cash-payment never was, or could except for a few years be, the union-bond of man to man. Cash never yet paid one man fully his deserts to another; nor could it, nor can it, now or henceforth to the end of the world.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

The merit of originality is not novelty; it is sincerity. The believing man is the original man; whatsoever he believes, he believes it for himself, not for another.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Permanence, perseverance and ...

Permanence, perseverance and persistence in spite of all obstacle s, discouragement s, and impossibilities: It is this, that in all things distinguishes the strong soul from the weak.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

No iron chain, or outward for...

No iron chain, or outward force of any kind, could ever compel the soul of man to believe or to disbelieve: it is his own indefeasible light, that judgment of his; he will reign and believe there by the grace of God alone!

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

War is a quarrel between two ...

War is a quarrel between two thieves too cowardly to fight their own battle; therefore they take boys from one village and another village, stick them into uniforms, equip them with guns, and let them loose like wild beasts against one other.
