All human things do require to...

All human things do require to have an ideal in them; to have some soul in them.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

No mortal has a right to wag h...

No mortal has a right to wag his tongue, much less to wag his pen, without saying something.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Produce, produce! Were it but ...

Produce, produce! Were it but the pitifulest, infinitesimal fraction of a product, produce it in God's name. 'Tis the utmost thou hast in thee? Out with it then! Up, up! Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy whole might.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

One is weary of hearing about ...

One is weary of hearing about the omnipotence of money. I will say rather that, for a genuine man, it is not evil to be poor.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

They wrong man greatly who say...

They wrong man greatly who say he is to be seduced by ease. Difficulty, abnegation, martyrdom, death are the allurements that act on the heart of man.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

The aristocracy of feudal parchment has passed away with a mighty rushing, and now, by a natural course, we arrive at aristocracy of the money-bag.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

What I loved in the man was hi...

What I loved in the man was his health, his unity with himself; all people and all things seemed to find their quite peaceable adjustment with him, not a proud domineering one, as after doubtful contest, but a spontaneous-looking peaceable, even humble one.

That monstrous tuberosity of civilised life, the capital of England.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

The Persians are called the French of the East; we will call the Arabs Oriental Italians. A gifted noble people; a people of wildstrong feelings, and of iron restraint over these: the characteristic of noblemindedness, of genius.

Fancy that thou deservest to be hangedthou wilt feel it happiness to be only shot: fancy that thou deservest to be hanged ina hair halter, it will be a luxury to die in hemp.

A frightful dialect for the stupid, the pedant and dullard sort.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

This we take it is the grand c...

This we take it is the grand characteristic of our age. By our skill in Mechanism, it has come to pass, that in the management ofexternal things we excel all other ages; while in whatever respects the pure moral nature, in true dignity of soul and character, we are perhaps inferior to most civilised ages.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Lives the man that can figure ...

Lives the man that can figure a naked Duke of Windlestraw addressing a naked House of Lords?

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

They have their belief, these ...

They have their belief, these poor Tibet people, that Providence sends down always an Incarnation of Himself into every generation. At bottom some belief in a kind of pope! At bottom still better, a belief that there is a Greatest Man; that he is discoverable; that, once discovered, we ought to treat him with an obedience which knows no bounds. This is the truth of Grand Lamaism; the 'discoverability' is the only error here.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

So much of truth, only under a...

So much of truth, only under an ancient obsolete vesture, but the spirit of it still true, do I find in the Paganism of old nations. Nature is still divine, the revelation of the workings of God; the Hero is still worshipable: this, under poor cramped incipient forms, is what all Pagan religions have struggled, as they could, to set forth.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Professors of the Dismal Science, I perceive the length of your tether is now pretty well run; and I must request you to talk a little lower in the future.

Goethe's devil is a cultivated personage and acquainted with the modern sciences; sneers at witchcraft and the black art even while employing them, and doubts most things, nay, half disbelieves even his own existence.
