Time is the silent, never-rest...

Time is the silent, never-resting thing ... rolling, rushing on, swift, silent, like an all-embracing oceantide, on which we and all the universe swim.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

All work of man is as the swim...

All work of man is as the swimmer's: a vast ocean threatens to devour him; if he front it not bravely, it will keep its word.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

All reform except a moral one ...

All reform except a moral one will prove unavailing.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Affectation is the product of ...

Affectation is the product of falsehood.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

The choking, sweltering, deadl...

The choking, sweltering, deadly, and killing rule of no rule; the consecration of cupidity and braying of folly, and dim stupidity and baseness, in most of the affairs of men. Slopshirts attainable three-halfpence cheaper by the ruin of living bodies and immortal souls.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

In no time whatever can small ...

In no time whatever can small critics entirely eradicate out of living men's hearts a certain altogether peculiar collar reverence for Great Men--genuine admiration, loyalty, adora-tion.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

A man--be the heavens ever pra...

A man--be the heavens ever praised!--is sufficient for himself.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

It is not to taste sweet thing...

It is not to taste sweet things; but to do noble and true things, and vindicate himself under God's heaven as a God-made man, that the poorest son of Adam dimly longs. Show him the way of doing that, the dullest day-drudge kindles into a hero. 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. Kindle the inner genial life of him, you have a flame that burns up all lower considerations.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Authors are the vanguard in th...

Authors are the vanguard in the march of mind, the intellectual backwoodsmen, reclaiming from the idle wilderness new territories for the thought and activity of their happier brethren.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

O thou who art able to write a...

O thou who art able to write a book which once in the two centuries or oftener there is a man gifted to do, envy not him whom they name city-builder, and inexpressibly pity him whom they name conqueror or city-burner.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Good Christian people, here li...

Good Christian people, here lies for you an inestimable loan; take all heed thereof, in all carefulness, employ it: with high recompense, or else with heavy penalty, will it one day be required back.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Rare benevolence, the minister...

Rare benevolence, the minister of God.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

A noble book! all men's book!...

A noble book! all men's book!

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

A true delineation of the smallest man is capable of interesting the greatest man.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

There is in man a higher than ...

There is in man a higher than love of happiness; he can do without happiness, and instead thereof find blessedness.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

The insignificant, the empty, ...

The insignificant, the empty, is usually the loud; and after the manner of a drum, is louder even because of its emptiness.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Is not cant the materia prima ...

Is not cant the materia prima of the devil, from which all falsehoods, imbecilities, abominations, body themselves, from which no true thing can come? For cant is itself the properly a double-distilled lie, the second power of a lie.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Happy season of virtuous youth...

Happy season of virtuous youth, when shame is still an impassable barrier, and the sacred air-cities of hope have not shrunk into the mean clay hamlets of reality; and man, by his nature, is yet infinite and free.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Caution is the lower story of ...

Caution is the lower story of prudence.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Wondrous is the strength of cheerfulness, altogether past calculation its powers of endurance.
