A dandy is a clothes-wearing man--a man whose trade, office, and existence consist in the wearing of clothes. Every faculty of his soul, spirit, person and purse is heroically consecrated to this one object--the wearing of clothes, wisely and well; so that, as others dress to live, he lives to dress.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Democracy will itself accompli...

Democracy will itself accomplish the salutary universal change from delusive to real, and make a new blessed world of us by and by.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Unity, agreement, is always si...

Unity, agreement, is always silent or soft-voiced; it is only discord that loudly proclaims itself.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

The latest gospel in this world is, know thy work and do it.

Earnestness alone makes life eternity.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Friend, hast thou considered the 'rugged, all-nourishing earth,' as Sophocles well names her; how she feeds the sparrow on the housetop, much more her darling man?

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

All that a university or final...

All that a university or final highest school. can do for us is still but what the first school began doing--teach us to read. We learn to read in various languages, in various sciences; we learn the alphabet and letters of all manner of books. But the place where we are to get knowledge, even theoretic knowledge, is the books themselves. It depends on what we read, after all manner of professors have done their best for us. The true university of these days is a collection of books.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

I too acknowledge the all-out ...

I too acknowledge the all-out omnipotence of early culture and nature; hereby we have either a doddered dwarf-bush, or a high-towering, wide-shadowing tree! either a sick yellow cabbage, or an edible luxuriant green one. Of a truth, it is the duty of all men, especially of all philosophers, to note down with accuracy the characteristic circumstances of their education,--what furthered, what hindered, what in any way modified it.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Whose school-hours are all the days and nights of our existence.

To be true is manly, chivalrous, Christian; to be false is mean, cowardly, devilish.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

The all importance of clothes ...

The all importance of clothes has sprung up in the intellect of the dandy without effort, like an instinct of genius; he is inspired with clothes, a poet of clothes.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

How were friendship possible? ...

How were friendship possible? In mutual devotedness to the good and true; otherwise impossible, except as armed neutrality or hollow commercial league. A man, be the heavens ever praised, is sufficient for himself; yet were ten men, united in love, capable of being and of doing what ten thousand singly would fail in. Infinite is the help man can yield to man.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Venerable to me is the hard ha...

Venerable to me is the hard hand,--crooked, coarse,--wherein, notwithstanding, lies a cunning virtue, indispensably royal as of the sceptre of the planet.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Heroes, it would seem, exist a...

Heroes, it would seem, exist always and a certain worship of them.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

The greatest of all heroes is ...

The greatest of all heroes is One--whom we do not name here! Let sacred silence meditate that sacred matter; you will find it the ultimate perfection of a principle extant throughout man's whole history on earth.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

At the bottom there is no perf...

At the bottom there is no perfect history; there is none such conceivable. All past centuries have rotted down, and gone confusedly dumb and quiet.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

The essence of humor is sensib...

The essence of humor is sensibility; warm, tender fellow-feeling with all forms of existence.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Alas! we know that ideals can ...

Alas! we know that ideals can never be completely embodied in practice. Ideals must ever lie a great way off--and we will thankfully content ourselves with any not intolerable approximation thereto! Let no man, as Schiller says, too querulously 'measure by a scale of perfection the meager product of reality' in this poor world of ours.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

The situation that has not its...

The situation that has not its duty, its ideal, was never yet occupied by man. Yes, here, in this poor, miserable, hampered, despicable actual, wherein thou even now standest, here or nowhere is thy ideal; work it out therefrom, and, working, believe, live, be free. Fool! the ideal is in thyself.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

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