What we become depends on what we read after all of the professors have finished with us. The greatest university of all is a collection of books.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

If there be no enemy there's ...

If there be no enemy there's no fight. If no fight, no victory and if no victory there is no crown.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Do the duty which lies neares...

Do the duty which lies nearest to you, the second duty will then become clearer.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Alas! while the body stands so...

Alas! while the body stands so broad and brawny, must the soul lie blinded, dwarfed, stupefied, almost annihilated? Alas! this was, too, a breath of God, bestowed in heaven, but on earth never to be unfolded!

Rare benevolence, the minister of God.

O thou who art able to write a book which once in the two centuries or oftener there is a man gifted to do, envy not him whom they name city-builder, and inexpressibly pity him whom they name conqueror or city-burner.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

A noble book! all men's book!...

A noble book! all men's book!

A true delineation of the smallest man is capable of interesting the greatest man.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

There is in man a higher than ...

There is in man a higher than love of happiness; he can do without happiness, and instead thereof find blessedness.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

The insignificant, the empty, ...

The insignificant, the empty, is usually the loud; and after the manner of a drum, is louder even because of its emptiness.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Is not cant the materia prima ...

Is not cant the materia prima of the devil, from which all falsehoods, imbecilities, abominations, body themselves, from which no true thing can come? For cant is itself the properly a double-distilled lie, the second power of a lie.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Happy season of virtuous youth...

Happy season of virtuous youth, when shame is still an impassable barrier, and the sacred air-cities of hope have not shrunk into the mean clay hamlets of reality; and man, by his nature, is yet infinite and free.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Caution is the lower story of ...

Caution is the lower story of prudence.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Wondrous is the strength of cheerfulness, altogether past calculation its powers of endurance.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Happy season of childhood! Kin...

Happy season of childhood! Kind Nature, that art to all a bountiful mother; that visitest the poor man's hut With auroral radiance; and for thy nursling hast provided a soft swathing of love and infinite hope wherein he waxes and slumbers, danced round by sweetest dreams!

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

It is a fact which escapes no one, that, generally speaking, whoso is acquainted with his worth has but a little stock to cultivate acquaintance with.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

To say that we have a clear co...

To say that we have a clear conscience is to utter a solecism; had we never sinned we should have had no conscience. Were defeat unknown, neither would victory be celebrated by songs of triumph.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

What the light of your mind, w...

What the light of your mind, which is the direct inspiration of the Almighty, pronounces incredible, that, in God's name, leave uncredited. At your peril do not try believing that!

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

The great law of culture is, L...

The great law of culture is, Let each become all that he was created capable of being; expand, if possible, to his full growth; resisting all impediments, casting off all foreign, especially all noxious adhesions, and show himself at length in his own shape and stature be these what they may.
