Experience of actual fact either teaches fools or abolishes them.

The whole past is the procession of the present.

Rich as we are in biography, a well-written life is almost as rare as a well-spent one; and there are certainly many more men whose history deserves to be recorded than persons willing and able to record it.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Biography is the only true history.

The archenemy is the arch stupid!

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Contented saturnine human figu...

Contented saturnine human figures, a dozen or so of them, sitting around a large long table...Perfect equality is to be the rule; no rising or notice taken when anybody enters or leaves. Let the entering man take his place and pipe, without obligatory remarks; if he cannot smoke...let him at least affect to do so, and not ruffle the established stream of things.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Tobacco smoke is the one eleme...

Tobacco smoke is the one element in which, by our European manners, men can sit silent together without embarrassment, and where no man is bound to speak one word more than he has actually and veritably got to say. Nay, rather every man is admonished and enjoined by the laws of honor, and even of personal ease, to stop short of that point; and at all events to hold his peace and take to his pipe again the instant he has spoken his meaning, if he chance to have any.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Ill-health, of body or of mind...

Ill-health, of body or of mind, is defeat. Health alone is victory. Let all men, if they can manage it, contrive to be healthy!

Debt is a bottomless sea....

Debt is a bottomless sea.

Self-contemplation is infallibly the symptom of disease.

So here hath been dawning Another blue day; Think, wilt thou let it Slip useless away? Out of eternity This new day is born, Into eternity At night will return.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Obedience is our universal dut...

Obedience is our universal duty and destiny; wherein whoso will not bend must break; too early and too thoroughly we cannot be trained to know that 'would,' in this world of ours, is a mere zero to 'should,' and for most part as the smallest of fractions even to 'shall.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

God gave you that gifted tongue of yours, and set it between your teeth, to make known your true meaning to us, not to be rattled like a muffin man's bell.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Providence has given to the French the empire of the land, to the English that of the sea, to the Germans that of--the air!

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

There is no permanent place in this universe for evil... Evil may hide behind this fallacy and that, but it will be hunted from fallacy to fallacy until there is no more fallacy for it to hide behind.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Scarcely two hundred years back can Fame recollect articulately at all; and there she but maunders and mumbles.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

We have not the love of greatness, but the love of the love of greatness.

A man must indeed be a hero to appear such in the eyes of his valet.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Histories are as perfect as the Historian is wise, and is gifted with an eye and a soul.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Be a pattern to others, and then all will go well; for as a whole city is affected by the licentious passions and vices of great men, so it is likewise reformed by their moderation.
