Charles Kingsley
Beauty is God's handwriting — a wayside sacrament welcome it in every fair face, every fair sky, every fair flower, and thank for it Him.
Charles Kingsley

Charles Kingsley
There are two freedoms - the false, where a man is free to do what he likes the true, where he is free to do what he ought.
Charles Kingsley
For to be discontented with the divine discontent, and to be ashamed with the noble shame, is the very germ and first upgrowth of all virtue.
Charles Kingsley
Nature's deepest laws, her only true laws, are her invisible ones.
Charles Kingsley
I hope that my children, at least, if not I myself, will see the day when ignorance of the primary laws and facts of science will be looked upon as a defect only second to ignorance of the primary laws of religion and morality.
Charles Kingsley
It is not darkness you are going to, for God is Light. It is not lonely, for Christ is with you. It is not unknown country, for Christ is there.
Charles Kingsley
Except a living man, there is nothing more wonderful than a book.
Charles Kingsley
