We observe with confidence that the truly strong mind, view it as intellect or morality, or under any other aspect, is nowise the mind acquainted with its strength; that here the sign of health is unconsciousness.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Habit and imitation--there is ...

Habit and imitation--there is nothing more perennial in us than these two. They are the source of all working, and all apprenticeship, of all practice, and all learning, in this world.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

The healthy know not of their health, but only the sick: this is the physician's aphorism, and applicable in a far wider sense than he gives it.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

The true epic of our times is ...

The true epic of our times is not 'Arm's and the Man,' but 'Tools and the Man'--an infinitely wider kind of epic.

The press is the fourth estate of the realm.

The great soul of this world is just.

Just in ratio as knowledge increases, faith diminishes.

Labor is life: from the inmost heart of the worker rises his God-given force, the sacred celestial life-essence breathed into him by Almighty God!

Labor, wide as the earth, has its summit in heaven.

A pygmy standing on the outward crust of this small planet, his far-reaching spirit stretches outward to the infinite, and there alone finds rest.

The Highest Being reveals himself in man.

Money, in truth, can do much, but it cannot do all. We must know the province of it, and confine it there, and even spurn it back when it wishes to get farther.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

There is a majesty and mystery in nature, take her as you will. The essence of poetry comes breathing to a mind that feels from every province of her empire.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Thou fool! Nature alone is antique, and the oldest art a mushroom; that idle crag thou sittest on is six thousand years of age.

A word spoken in season, at the right moment; is the mother of ages.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

With union grounded on falsehood and ordering us to speak and act lies, we will not have anything to do. Peace? A brutal lethargy is peaceable; the noisome is peaceable. We hope for a living peace, not a dead one!

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

We are to take no counsel with flesh and blood; give ear to no vain cavils, vain sorrows and wishes; to know that we know nothing, that the worst and cruelest to our eyes is not what it seems, that we have to receive whatsoever befalls us as sent from God above, and say, 'It is good and wise,--God is great! Though He slay me, yet I trust in Him.' Islam means, in its way, denial of self. This is yet the highest wisdom that heaven has revealed to our earth.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

If I say that Shakespeare is the greatest of intellects, I have said all concerning him. But there is more in Shakespeare's intellect than we have yet seen. It is what I call an unconscious intellect; there is more virtue in it that he himself is aware of.

He who cannot withal keep his mind to himself cannot practice any considerable thing whatsoever.
