The Bible is the truest uttera...

The Bible is the truest utterance that ever came by alphabetic letters from the soul of man, through which, as through a window divinely opened, all men can look into the stillness of eternity, and discern in glimpses their far-distant, long-forgotten home.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Who is it that loves me and wi...

Who is it that loves me and will love me forever with an affection which no chance, no misery, no crime of mine can do away? It is you, my mother.

Government is emphatically a machine: to the discontented a taxing machine, to the contented a machine for securing property.

The end of man is action, and not thought, though it be of the noblest.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

We call it a Society; and go a...

We call it a Society; and go about professing openly the totalest separation, isolation. Our life is not a mutual helpfulness; but rather, cloaked under due laws-of-war, named fair competition and so forth, it is a mutual hostility.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Speech is of time, silence is of eternity.

When we can drain the Ocean into mill-ponds, and bottle up the Force of Gravity, to be sold by retail, in gas jars; then may we hope to comprehend the infinitudes of man's soul under formulas of Profit and Loss; and rule over this too, as over a patent engine, by checks, and valves, and balances.

For suffering and enduring there is no remedy, but striving and doing.

I do not believe in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Cash-payment never was, or cou...

Cash-payment never was, or could except for a few years be, the union-bond of man to man. Cash never yet paid one man fully his deserts to another; nor could it, nor can it, now or henceforth to the end of the world.

The depth of our despair measures what capability and height of claim we have to hope.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

The condition of the most passionate enthusiast is to be preferred over the individual who, because of the fear of making a mistake, won't in the end affirm or deny anything

The lightning spark of thought generated in the solitary mind awakens its likeness in another mind.

When Pococke inquired of Grotius, where the proof was of that story of the pigeon, trained to pick peas from Mahomet's (Muhammad's) ear, and pass for an angel dictating to him? Grotius answered that there was no proof!...
