Thomas Carlyle Quotes About Sorrow

Quotes about: Sorrow

• We are to take no counsel with flesh and blood; give ear to no vain cavils, vain sorrows and wishes; to know that we know nothing, that the worst and cruelest to our eyes is not what it seems, that we have to receive whatsoever befalls us as sent from God above, and say, "It is good and wise,--God is great! Though He slay me, yet I trust in Him." Islam means, in its way, denial of self. This is yet the highest wisdom that heaven has revealed to our earth.

  Thomas Carlyle

  Wise, Mean, Eye

• Old age is not a matter for sorrow. It is matter for thanks if we have left our work done behind us.

  Thomas Carlyle

  Birthday, Time, Sorrow

• On the whole, I would bid you stand up to your work, whatever it may be, and not be afraid of it; not in sorrows or contradictions to yield, but to push on towards the goal.

  Thomas Carlyle

  Yield, Goal, Training
