Inspirational Quotations by Thomas Carlyle
- Make yourself an honest man, and then you may be
sure that there is one less scoundrel in the world.
- The fraction of life can be increased in value
not so much by increasing your numerator as by
lessening your denominator. Nay, unless my Algebra
deceives me, unity itself divided by zero will give infinity.
- No man who has once heartily and wholly
laughed can be altogether irreclaimably bad.
- Under all speech that is good for anything
there lies a silence that is better,
Silence is deep as Eternity;
Speech is shallow as Time.
- Is man's civilization only a wrappage, through which the savage nature of him can still burst, infernal as ever?
- We are not altogether here to tolerate. We are here to resist, to control and vanquish withal.
- There is precious instruction to be got by finding we were wrong. Let a man try faithfully, manfully, to be right; he will grow daily more and more right.
- Men's hearts ought not be set against one another, but set with one another, and all against evil only.
