Thomas Carlyle Quotes

Time stays, we go.

Reflect often upon the rapidity with which all existing things, or things coming into existence, sweep past us and are carried away.

This was what it meant to be human, to know that time moved and all things changed.

Time marks us while we are marking time.

Existence is no more than the precarious attainment of relevance in an intensely mobile flux of past, present, and future.

Time moves on for everyone.

You can't halt time.

Even while a thing is in the act of coming into existence, some part of it has already ceased to be.

Time is the rider that breaks youth.

The present flowed by them like a stream. The tree rustled. It had made music before they were born, and would continue after their deaths, but its song was of the moment. The moment had passed. The tree rustled again. Their senses were sharpened, and they seemed to apprehend life. Life passed. The tree rustled again.

Time bears away all things.

Time's ruins build eternity's mansions.

The waves of time wash us all clean.

We tried not to age, but time had its rage.

Time will pass and seasons will come and go.

Time goes, you say? Ah, no! alas, time stays, we go.

Time takes all and gives all.

Time brings all things to pass.

Time is the substance from which I am made. Time is a river which carries me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger that devours me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire that consumes me, but I am the fire.

We die only once, and for such a long time.

I think the life we are living now is just a blink in the eye of eternity.

Eternity is in love with the productions of time.

Life is hardly more than a fraction of a second. Such a little time to prepare oneself for eternity!

Time is life itself, and life resides in the human heart.

It is useless to contend with the irresistible power of Time, which goes on continually creating by a process of constant destruction.
