No age seemed the age of roma...

No age seemed the age of romance to itself.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

What I loved in the man was h...

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.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Are not our greatest men as g...

Are not our greatest men as good as lost? The men that walk daily among us, warming us, feeding us, walk shrouded in darkness, mere mythic men.

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 always hope in a man...

There is always hope in a man that actually and earnestly works: in Idleness alone is there perpetual despair.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Hero-worship is the deepest r...

Hero-worship is the deepest root of all; the tap-root, from which in a great degree all the rest were nourished and grown . . . Worship of a Hero is transcendent admiration of a Great Man. I say great men are still admirable; I say there is, at bottom, nothing else admirable! No nobler feeling than this of admiration for one higher than himself dwells in the breast of men.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Blessed is he who has found h...

Blessed is he who has found his work; let him ask no other blessedness. He has a work, a life-purpose; he has found it, and will follow it! How, as a free-flowing channel, dug and torn by noble force through the sour mudswamp of one's existence, like an ever-deepening river there, it runs and flows

Close thy Byron ; open thy Goethe .

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

We observe with confidence that the truly strong mind, view it as intellect or morality, or under any other aspect, is nowise the mind acquainted with its strength; that here the sign of health is unconsciousness.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

No man at bottom means injust...

No man at bottom means injustice; it is always for some obscure distorted image of a right that he contends: an obscure image diffracted, exaggerated, in the wonderfulest way by natural dimness and selfishness; getting tenfold more diffracted by exasperation of contest, till at length it become all but irrecognis-able.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Nay, in every epoch of the world, the great event, parent of all others, is it not the arrival of a Thinker in the world?

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

History is the distillation of rumour.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Insurrection, never so necess...

Insurrection, never so necessary, is a most sad necessity; and governors who wait for that to instruct them are surely getting into the fatalest course.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Obedience is our universal du...

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

Of our thinking it is but the...

Of our thinking it is but the upper surface that we shape into articulate thought; underneath the region of argument and conscious discourse lies the region of meditation.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

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

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

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

A man ought to inquire and fi...

A man ought to inquire and find out what he really and truly has an appetite for; what suits his constitution; and that, doctors tell him, is the very thing he ought to have in general. And so with books.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

The eye of the intellect "see...

The eye of the intellect "sees in all objects what it brought with it the means of seeing."

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

There needs not a great soul to make a hero; there needs a god-created soul which will be true to its origin; that will be a great soul!
