There is no heroic poem in the world but is at bottom a biography, the life of a man.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Shakespeare says, we are creat...

Shakespeare says, we are creatures that look before and after; the more surprising that we do not look around a little, and see what is passing under our very eyes.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Generations are as the days of...

Generations are as the days of toilsome mankind; death and birth are the vesper and the matin bells that summon mankind to sleep and to rise refreshed for new advancement. What the father has made, the son can make and enjoy; but has also work of his own appointed him. Thus all things wax and roll onwards: arts, establishments, opinions, nothing is ever completed, but ever completing.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

How, without clothes, could we possess the master organ, soul's seat and true pineal gland of the body social--I mean a purse?

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Heroes have gone out; quacks h...

Heroes have gone out; quacks have come in; the reign of quacks has not ended with the nineteenth century. The sceptre is held with a firmer grasp; the empire has a wider boundary. We are all the slaves of quackery in one shape or another. Indeed, one portion of our being is always playing the successful quack to the other.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Learn to be good readers, whic...

Learn to be good readers, which is perhaps a more difficult thing than you imagine. Learn to be discriminative in your reading; to read faithfully, and with your best attention, all kinds of things which you have a real interest in,--a real, not an imaginary,--and which you find to be really fit for what you are engaged in.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

An everlasting lodestar, that beams the brighter in the heavens the darker here on earth grows the night.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

If there be not a religious element in the relations of men, such relations are miserable and doomed to ruin.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

The leafy blossoming present time springs from the whole past, remembered and unrememberable.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Insurrection, never so necessa...

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

Roguery is thought by some to ...

Roguery is thought by some to be cunning and laughable: it is neither; it is devilish.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

No man is born without ambitious worldly desires.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Cease to brag to me of America...

Cease to brag to me of America, and its model institutions and constitutions. America, too, will have to strain its energies, crack its sinews, and all but break its heart, as the rest of us have had to do, in thousand-fold wrestle with the Pythons, and mud-demons, before it can become a babitation for the gods.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

A man ought to inquire and fin...

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

I want to meet my God awake....

I want to meet my God awake.

There are remedies for all things but death.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

With respect to duels, indeed,...

With respect to duels, indeed, I have my own ideas. Few things in this so surprising world strike me with more surprise. Two little visual spectra of men, hovering with insecure enough cohesion in the midst of the unfathomable, and to dissolve therein, at any rate, very soon, make pause at the distance of twelve paces asunder; whirl around, and simultaneously by the cunningest mechanism, explode one another into dissolution; and, offhand, become air, and non-extant--the little spitfires!

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Evil and good are everywhere, ...

Evil and good are everywhere, like shadow and substance; inseparable (for men) yet not hostile, only opposed.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

Evil, once manfully fronted, c...

Evil, once manfully fronted, ceases to be evil; there is generous battle-hope in place of dead, passive misery; the evil itself has become a kind of good.

Thomas Carlyle 1193 quotes

In the huge mass of evil as it...

In the huge mass of evil as it rolls and swells, there is ever some good working toward deliverance and triumph.
