Give us, O give us the man who...

Give us, O give us the man who sings at his work! Be his occupation what it may, he is equal to any of those who follow the same pursuit in silent sullenness. He will do more in the same time . . . he will do it better . . . he will persevere longer. One is scarcely sensible to fatigue while he marches to music. The very stars are said to make harmony as they revolve in their spheres.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Skepticism . . . is not intellectual only it is moral also, a chronic atrophy and disease of the whole soul.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Laws, written, if not on stone tables, yet on the azure of infinitude, in the inner heart of God's creation, certain as life, certain as death, are there, and thou shalt not disobey them.

Rest is for the dead.

Burke said there were Three Estates in Parliament; but, in the Reporter's gallery yonder, there sat a fourth estate more important far than they all.

The person who cannot laugh is not only ready for treason, and deceptions, their whole life is already a treason and deception.

All men, if they work not as in the great taskmaster's eye, will work wrong, and work unhappily for themselves and for you.

In every object there is inexhaustible meaning.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

For the superior morality, of ...

For the superior morality, of which we hear so much, we too would desire to be thankful: at the same time, it were but blindness to deny that this superior morality is properly rather an inferior criminality, produced not by greater love of Virtue, but by greater perfection of Police; and of that far subtler and stronger Police, called Public Opinion.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Clean undeniable right, clear ...

Clean undeniable right, clear undeniable might: either of these once ascertained puts an end to battle. All battle is a confused experiment to ascertain one and both of these.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Have not I myself known five hundred living soldiers sabred into crows' meat for a piece of glazed cotton, which they call their flag; which had you sold it at any market-cross, would not have brought above three groschen?

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Let me have my own way in exactly everything and a sunnier and pleasanter creature does not exist.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Skepticism, as I said, is not ...

Skepticism, as I said, is not intellectual only; it is moral also; a chronic atrophy and disease of the whole soul. A man lives by believing something; not by debating and arguing about many things. A sad case for him when all that he can manage to believe is something he can button in his pocket, and with one or the other organ eat and digest! Lower than that he will not get.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

The hell of these days is the fear of not getting along, especially of not making money.

The soul gives unity to what it looks at with love.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

No good book or good thing of ...

No good book or good thing of any kind shows it best face at first. No the most common quality of in a true work of art that has excellence and depth, is that at first sight it produces a certain disappointment.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Democracy will prevail when men believe the vote of Judas as good as that of Jesus Christ.

One is hardly sensible of fatigue while he marches to music.
