An everlasting lodestar, that beams the brighter in the heavens the darker here on earth grows the night.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

If there be not a religious el...

If there be not a religious element in the relations of men, such relations are miserable and doomed to ruin.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

The leafy blossoming present t...

The leafy blossoming present time springs from the whole past, remembered and unrememberable.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Insurrection, never so necessa...

Insurrection, never so necessary, is a most sad necessity; and governors who wait for that to instruct them are surely getting into the fatalest course.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Roguery is thought by some to ...

Roguery is thought by some to be cunning and laughable: it is neither; it is devilish.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

No man is born without ambitio...

No man is born without ambitious worldly desires.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Cease to brag to me of America...

Cease to brag to me of America, and its model institutions and constitutions. America, too, will have to strain its energies, crack its sinews, and all but break its heart, as the rest of us have had to do, in thousand-fold wrestle with the Pythons, and mud-demons, before it can become a babitation for the gods.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

A man ought to inquire and fin...

A man ought to inquire and find out what he really and truly has an appetite for; what suits his constitution; and that, doctors tell him, is the very thing he ought to have in general. And so with books.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

I want to meet my God awake....

I want to meet my God awake.

There are remedies for all things but death.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

With respect to duels, indeed,...

With respect to duels, indeed, I have my own ideas. Few things in this so surprising world strike me with more surprise. Two little visual spectra of men, hovering with insecure enough cohesion in the midst of the unfathomable, and to dissolve therein, at any rate, very soon, make pause at the distance of twelve paces asunder; whirl around, and simultaneously by the cunningest mechanism, explode one another into dissolution; and, offhand, become air, and non-extant--the little spitfires!

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Evil and good are everywhere, ...

Evil and good are everywhere, like shadow and substance; inseparable (for men) yet not hostile, only opposed.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Evil, once manfully fronted, c...

Evil, once manfully fronted, ceases to be evil; there is generous battle-hope in place of dead, passive misery; the evil itself has become a kind of good.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

In the huge mass of evil as it...

In the huge mass of evil as it rolls and swells, there is ever some good working toward deliverance and triumph.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Not one false man but doth unc...

Not one false man but doth uncountable evil.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Eyes bright, with many tears, ...

Eyes bright, with many tears, behind them.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Money will buy money's worth; ...

Money will buy money's worth; but the thing men call fame, what is it?

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

What a wretched thing is all f...

What a wretched thing is all fame! A renown of the highest sort endures, say, for two thousand years. And then? Why, then, a fathomless eternity swallows it. Work for eternity; not the meagre rhetorical eternity of the periodical critics, but for the real eternity wherein dwelleth the Divine.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

How indestructibly the good gr...

How indestructibly the good grows, and propagates itself, even among the weedy entanglements of evil.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Consider in fact, a body of si...

Consider in fact, a body of six hundred and fifty-eight miscellaneous persons, set to consult about 'business,' with twenty-seven millions, mostly fools, assiduously listening to them, and checking and criticising them. Was there ever, since the world began, will there ever be till the world end, any 'business' accomplished in these circumstances?
