They wrong man greatly who say he is to be seduced by ease. Difficulty, abnegation, martyrdom, death are the allurements that act on the heart of man.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

The first sin in our universe...

The first sin in our universe was Lucifer's self conceit.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Painful for a person is rebel...

Painful for a person is rebellious independence, only in loving companionship with his associates does a person feel safe: Only in reverently bowing down before the higher does a person feel exalted.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Parliament will train you to ...

Parliament will train you to talk; and above all things to hear, with patience, unlimited quantities of foolish talk.

He who would write heroic poems should make his whole life a heroic poem.

Pin your faith to no ones sleeves, haven't you two eyes of your own.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

What is nature? Art thou not ...

What is nature? Art thou not the living government of God? O Heaven, is it in very deed He then that ever speaks through thee, that lives and loves in thee, that lives and loves in me?

And there are Ben [Jonson] an...

And there are Ben [Jonson] and William Shakespeare in wit-combat, sure enough; Ben bearing down like a mighty Spanish war-ship, fraught with all learning and artillery; Shakespeare whisking away from him - whisking right through him, athwart the big bulk and timbers of him; like a miraculous Celestial Light-ship, woven all of sheet-lightning and sunbeams!

I know so little about any history. How little do I know even about the history of myself.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

The grand result of schooling...

The grand result of schooling is a mind with just vision to discern, with free force to do: the grand schoolmaster is Practice.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

To know, to get into the trut...

To know, to get into the truth of anything, is ever a mystic art, of which the best logic's can but babble on the surface.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Man's Unhappiness, as I const...

Man's Unhappiness, as I construe, comes of his Greatness; it is because there is an Infinite in him, with which all his cunning he cannot quite bury under the Finite... Try him with half of a Universe, of an Omnipotence, he sets to quarreling with the proprietor of the other half, and declares himself the most maltreated of men. Always there is a black spot in our sunshine: It is even, as I said, the Shadow of Ourselves.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

'Genius' which means transcen...

'Genius' which means transcendent capacity of taking trouble, first of all.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

A fair day's wages for a fair...

A fair day's wages for a fair day's work.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

The highest ensign that men e...

The highest ensign that men ever met and embraced under, the Cross itself, had no meaning save an accidental extrinsic one.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Stern accuracy in inquiring, ...

Stern accuracy in inquiring, bold imagination in describing, these are the cogs on which history soars or flutters and wobbles.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Every noble crown is, and on ...

Every noble crown is, and on Earth will forever be, a crown of thorns.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Only perhaps in the United St...

Only perhaps in the United States, which alone of countries can do without governing,every man being at least able to live, and move off into the wilderness, let Congress jargon as it will,can such a form of so-called Government continue for any length of time to torment men with the semblance, when the indispensable substance is not there.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

This London City, with all of...

This London City, with all of its houses, palaces, steam-engines, cathedrals, and huge immeasurable traffic an tumult, what is it but a Thought, but millions of Thoughts made into One-a huge immeasurable Spirit of a Thought, embodied in brick, in iron, smoke, dust, Palaces, Parliaments, Hackney Coaches, Katherine Docks, and the rest of it! Not a brick was made but some man had to think of the making of that brick.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

The glory of a workman, still...

The glory of a workman, still more of a master workman, that he does his work well, ought to be his most precious possession; like the honor of a soldier, dearer to him than life.
