The lies (Western slander) which well-meaning zeal has heaped round this man (Muhammad) are disgraceful to ourselves only.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

The vulgarity of inanimate th...

The vulgarity of inanimate things requires time to get accustomed to; but living, breathing, bustling, plotting, planning, human vulgarity is a species of moral ipecacuanha, enough to destroy any comfort.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Providence has given to the French the empire of the land, to the English that of the sea, to the Germans that of--the air!

Neither in tailoring nor in legislating does man proceed by mere accident.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

What an enormous magnifier is...

What an enormous magnifier is tradition! How a thing grows in the human memory and in the human imagination, when love, worship, and all that lies in the human heart, is there to encourage it

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

All men, if they work not as ...

All men, if they work not as in the great taskmaster's eye, will work wrong, and work unhappily for themselves and for you.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Ill-health, of body or of min...

Ill-health, of body or of mind, is defeat. Health alone is victory. Let all men, if they can manage it, contrive to be healthy!

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

To believe practically that t...

To believe practically that the poor and luckless are here only as a nusiance to be abraded and abated, and in some permissable manner made away with, and swept out of sight, is not an amiable faith.

The age of miracles is forever here.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

This we take it is the grand characteristic of our age. By our skill in Mechanism, it has come to pass, that in the management ofexternal things we excel all other ages; while in whatever respects the pure moral nature, in true dignity of soul and character, we are perhaps inferior to most civilised ages.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Superstition! that horrid inc...

Superstition! that horrid incubus which dwelt in darkness, shunning the light, with all its racks, and poison chalices, and foul sleeping draughts, is passing away without return. Religion cannot pass away. The burning of a little straw may hide the stars of the sky; but the stars are there and will reappear.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Enjoying things which are ple...

Enjoying things which are pleasant; that is not the evil; it is the reducing of our moral self to slavery by them that is.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Speech is of time, silence is...

Speech is of time, silence is of eternity.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Affectation is the product of falsehood.

The greatest event for the world is the arrival of a new and wise person.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Blessed is he who has found his work; let him ask no other blessedness. He has a work, a Life-purpose... Get your happiness out of your work or you will never know what real happiness is... Even in the meanest sorts of Labour, the whole soul of a man is composed into a kind of real harmony the instant he sets himself to work!

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

All work of man is as the swi...

All work of man is as the swimmer's: a vast ocean threatens to devour him; if he front it not bravely, it will keep its word.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

For suffering and enduring there is no remedy, but striving and doing.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

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 1193 quotes

We call it a Society; and go about professing openly the totalest separation, isolation. Our life is not a mutual helpfulness; but rather, cloaked under due laws-of-war, named fair competition and so forth, it is a mutual hostility.
