Is not light grander than fire?

The civil authority, or that part of it which remained faithful to their trust and true to the ends of the covenant, did, in answer to their consciences, turn out a tyrant, in a way which the Christians in aftertimes will mention with honor, and all tyrants in the world look at with fear.

Lies exist only to be extinguished.

Metaphysics is the attempt of the mind to rise above the mind.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Beautiful it is, and a gleam f...

Beautiful it is, and a gleam from the same eternal pole-star visible amid the destinies of men, that all talent, all intellect, is in the first plane moral. What a world were this otherwise!

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Man, it is not thy works, whic...

Man, it is not thy works, which are mortal, infinitely little, and the greatest no greater than the least, but only the spirit thou workest in, that can have worth or continuance.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Without oblivion, there is no ...

Without oblivion, there is no remembrance possible. When both oblivion and memory are wise, when the general soul of man is clear, melodious, true, there may come a modern Iliad as memorial of the Past.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

The philosopher is he to whom ...

The philosopher is he to whom the highest has descended, and the lowest has mounted up; who is the equal and kindly brother of all.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Piety does not mean that a man...

Piety does not mean that a man should make a sour face about things, and refuse to enjoy in moderation what his Maker has given.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Every poet, be his outward lot...

Every poet, be his outward lot what it may, finds himself born in the midst of prose; h e has to struggle from the littleness and obstruction of an actual world into the freedom and infinitude of an ideal.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

It's a man's sincerity and depth of vision that makes him a poet.

Nature, after all, is still the grand agent in making poets.

Poetry is the attempt which man makes to render his existence harmonious.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

There is no heroic poem in the world but is at bottom a biography, the life of a man.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Shakespeare says, we are creatures that look before and after; the more surprising that we do not look around a little, and see what is passing under our very eyes.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Generations are as the days of...

Generations are as the days of toilsome mankind; death and birth are the vesper and the matin bells that summon mankind to sleep and to rise refreshed for new advancement. What the father has made, the son can make and enjoy; but has also work of his own appointed him. Thus all things wax and roll onwards: arts, establishments, opinions, nothing is ever completed, but ever completing.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

How, without clothes, could we possess the master organ, soul's seat and true pineal gland of the body social--I mean a purse?

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Heroes have gone out; quacks h...

Heroes have gone out; quacks have come in; the reign of quacks has not ended with the nineteenth century. The sceptre is held with a firmer grasp; the empire has a wider boundary. We are all the slaves of quackery in one shape or another. Indeed, one portion of our being is always playing the successful quack to the other.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Learn to be good readers, whic...

Learn to be good readers, which is perhaps a more difficult thing than you imagine. Learn to be discriminative in your reading; to read faithfully, and with your best attention, all kinds of things which you have a real interest in,--a real, not an imaginary,--and which you find to be really fit for what you are engaged in.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes
