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.

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

Neither had Watt of the Steam...

Neither had Watt of the Steam engine a heroic origin, any kindred with the princes of this world. The princes of this world were shooting their partridges... While this man with blackened fingers, with grim brow, was searching out, in his workshop, the Fire-secret.

France was long a despotism tempered by epigrams.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

A thinking man is the worst e...

A thinking man is the worst enemy the Prince of Darkness can have; every time such an one announces himself, I doubt not there runs a shudder through the nether empire; and new emissaries are trained with new tactics, to, if possible, entrap and hoodwink and handcuff him.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

In a different time, in a dif...

In a different time, in a different place, it is always some other side of our common human nature that has been developing itself. The actual truth is the sum of all these.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Friendship, in the old heroic...

Friendship, in the old heroic sense of that term, no longer exists. It is in reality no longer expected or recognized as a virtue among men.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Wonderful Force of Public Opi...

Wonderful Force of Public Opinion! We must act and walk in all points as it prescribes; follow the traffic it bids us, realize the sum of money, the degree of influence it expects of us, or we shall be lightly esteemed; certain mouthfuls of articulate wind will be blown at us, and this what mortal courage can front?

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

A witty statesman said, you m...

A witty statesman said, you might prove anything by figures.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Let a man try faithfully, man...

Let a man try faithfully, manfully to be right; he will grow daily more and more right. It is at bottom the condition on which all men have to cultivate themselves.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

A sad spectacle. If they be inhabited, what a scope for misery and folly. If they be not inhabited, what a waste of space.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

The authentic insight and exp...

The authentic insight and experience of any human soul, were it but insight and experience in hewing of wood and drawing of water, is real knowledge, a real possession and acquirement.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

The man who cannot wonder, wh...

The man who cannot wonder, who does not habitually wonder (and worship), were he President of innumerable Royal Societies, and carried the whole Mecanique Celeste and Hegel's Philosophy, and the epitome of all Laboratories and Observatories with their results, in his single head, is but a Pair of Spectacles behind which there is no Eye. Let those who have Eyes look through him, then he may be useful.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

No good book, or good thing o...

No good book, or good thing of any sort, shows its best face at first.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Parties on the back of Parties, at war with the world and with each other.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

The world is an old woman, an...

The world is an old woman, and mistakes any gilt farthing for a gold coin; whereby being often cheated, she will thenceforth trust nothing but the common copper.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Money will buy money's worth;...

Money will buy money's worth; but the thing men call fame, what is it?

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Fire is the best of servants,...

Fire is the best of servants, but what a master!

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

It is through symbols that ma...

It is through symbols that man consciously or unconsciously lives, works and has his being.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

The errors of a wise man are ...

The errors of a wise man are literally more instructive than the truths of a fool. The wise man travels in lofty, far-seeing regions; the fool in low-lying, high-fenced lanes; retracing the footsteps of the former, to discover where he diviated, whole provinces of the universe are laid open to us; in the path of the latter, granting even that he has not deviated at all, little is laid open to us but two wheel-ruts and two hedges.
