To reform a world, to reform a...

To reform a world, to reform a nation, no wise man will undertake; and all but foolish men know, that the only solid, though a far slower reformation, is what each begins and perfects on himself.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

I grow daily to honour facts m...

I grow daily to honour facts more and more, and theory less and less. A fact, it seems to me, is a great thing; a sentence printed, if not by God, then at least by the Devil.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

It were a real increase of hum...

It were a real increase of human happiness, could all young men from the age of nineteen be covered under barrels, or rendered otherwise invisible; and there left to follow their lawful studies and callings, till they emerged, sadder and wiser, at the age of twenty-five.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Silence is the element in whic...

Silence is the element in which great things fashion themselves together; that at length they may emerge, full-formed and majestic, into the delight of life, which they are thenceforth to rule.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Thought once awakened does not...

Thought once awakened does not again slumber; unfolds itself into a System of Thought; grows, in man after man, generation after generation, - till its full stature is reached, and such System of Thought can grow no farther, but must give place to another.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

What is all knowledge except r...

What is all knowledge except recorded experience, and a product of history?

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Universal history, the history...

Universal history, the history of what man has accomplished in this world, is at bottom the History of the Great Men who have worked here.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

History is the distillation of rumour.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

History is the new poetry....

History is the new poetry.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

In every object there is inexh...

In every object there is inexhaustible meaning; the eye sees in it what the eye brings means of seeing.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

That there should one man die ...

That there should one man die ignorant who had capacity for knowledge, this I call a tragedy.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

What is all Knowledge too but ...

What is all Knowledge too but recorded Experience, and a product of History; of which, therefore, Reasoning and Belief, no less than Action and Passion, are essential materials?

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

There is no life of a man, fai...

There is no life of a man, faithfully recorded, but is a heroic poem of its sort, rhymed or unrhymed.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Let Time and Chance combine, c...

Let Time and Chance combine, combine!
Let Time and Chance combine!
The fairest love from heaven above,
That love of yours was mine,
My Dear!
That love of yours was mine.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

The weakest living creature, b...

The weakest living creature, by concentrating his powers on a single object, can accomplish something. The strongest, by dispensing his over many, may fail to accomplish anything. The drop, by continually falling, bores its passage through the hardest rock. The hasty torrent rushes over it with hideous uproar, and leaves no trace behind.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Action hangs, as it were, diss...

Action hangs, as it were, dissolved in speech, in thoughts whereof speech is the shadow; and precipitates itself therefrom. The kind of speech in a man betokens the kind of action you will get from him.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

The best lesson which we get f...

The best lesson which we get from the tragedy of Karbala is that Husain and his companions were rigid believers in God. They illustrated that the numerical superiority does not count when it comes to the truth and the falsehood. The victory of Husain, despite his minority, marvels me!

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

'Genius' which means transcend...

'Genius' which means transcendent capacity of taking trouble, first of all.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

A judicious man uses statistic...

A judicious man uses statistics, not to get knowledge, but to save himself from having ignorance foisted upon him.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Great souls are always loyally...

Great souls are always loyally submissive, reverent to what is over them: only small mean souls are otherwise.
