The greatest of all heroes is ...

The greatest of all heroes is One--whom we do not name here! Let sacred silence meditate that sacred matter; you will find it the ultimate perfection of a principle extant throughout man's whole history on earth.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

At the bottom there is no perf...

At the bottom there is no perfect history; there is none such conceivable. All past centuries have rotted down, and gone confusedly dumb and quiet.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

The essence of humor is sensib...

The essence of humor is sensibility; warm, tender fellow-feeling with all forms of existence.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Alas! we know that ideals can ...

Alas! we know that ideals can never be completely embodied in practice. Ideals must ever lie a great way off--and we will thankfully content ourselves with any not intolerable approximation thereto! Let no man, as Schiller says, too querulously 'measure by a scale of perfection the meager product of reality' in this poor world of ours.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

The situation that has not its...

The situation that has not its duty, its ideal, was never yet occupied by man. Yes, here, in this poor, miserable, hampered, despicable actual, wherein thou even now standest, here or nowhere is thy ideal; work it out therefrom, and, working, believe, live, be free. Fool! the ideal is in thyself.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Woe to him, . . . who has no c...

Woe to him, . . . who has no court of appeal against the world's judgment.

Is not light grander than fire?

The civil authority, or that p...

The civil authority, or that part of it which remained faithful to their trust and true to the ends of the covenant, did, in answer to their consciences, turn out a tyrant, in a way which the Christians in aftertimes will mention with honor, and all tyrants in the world look at with fear.

Lies exist only to be extinguished.

Metaphysics is the attempt of the mind to rise above the mind.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Beautiful it is, and a gleam f...

Beautiful it is, and a gleam from the same eternal pole-star visible amid the destinies of men, that all talent, all intellect, is in the first plane moral. What a world were this otherwise!

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Man, it is not thy works, whic...

Man, it is not thy works, which are mortal, infinitely little, and the greatest no greater than the least, but only the spirit thou workest in, that can have worth or continuance.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Without oblivion, there is no ...

Without oblivion, there is no remembrance possible. When both oblivion and memory are wise, when the general soul of man is clear, melodious, true, there may come a modern Iliad as memorial of the Past.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

The philosopher is he to whom ...

The philosopher is he to whom the highest has descended, and the lowest has mounted up; who is the equal and kindly brother of all.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Piety does not mean that a man...

Piety does not mean that a man should make a sour face about things, and refuse to enjoy in moderation what his Maker has given.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Every poet, be his outward lot...

Every poet, be his outward lot what it may, finds himself born in the midst of prose; h e has to struggle from the littleness and obstruction of an actual world into the freedom and infinitude of an ideal.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

It's a man's sincerity and depth of vision that makes him a poet.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Nature, after all, is still the grand agent in making poets.

Poetry is the attempt which man makes to render his existence harmonious.
