More quotes by Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
Love is ever the beginning of knowledge as fire is of light.

Thomas Carlyle
The barrenest of all mortals is the sentimentalist.
Thomas Carlyle
Long stormy spring-time, wet contentious April, winter chilling the lap of very May but at length the season of summer does come.
Thomas Carlyle
Also, what mountains of dead ashes, wreck and burnt bones, does assiduous pedantry dig up from the past time and name it History.
Thomas Carlyle
Our works are the mirror wherein the spirit first sees its natural lineaments. Hence, too, the folly of that impossible precept, Know theyself till it be translated into this partially possible one, know what thou canst work at.
Thomas Carlyle
