Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead. The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth.

All but God is changing day by day.
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
So fleet the works of men, back to their earth againAncient and holy things fade like a dream.
Charles Kingsley
Except a living man there is nothing more wonderful than a book! A message from the dead - from human souls we never saw, who lived, perhaps, thousands of miles away. And yet these, in those little sheets of paper, speak to us, arouse us, terrify us, comfort us, open their hearts to us as brothers.
Charles Kingsley
A garden, sir, wherein all rainbows and flowers were heaped together.
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
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
O Mary, go and call the cattle home, And call the cattle home, And call the cattle home, Across the sands o' Dee!
Charles Kingsley
What is the commonest, and yet the least remembered form of heroism? The heroism of an average mother. Ah! when I think of that broad fact I gather hope again for poor humanity, and this dark world looks bright, this diseased world looks wholesome to me once more, because, whatever else it is or is not full of, it is at least full of mothers.
Charles Kingsley
The world goes up and the world goes down, the sunshine follows the rain and yesterday's sneer and yesterday's frown can never come over again.
Charles Kingsley
Every duty which is bidden to wait returns with seven fresh duties at its back.
Charles Kingsley
And how high is Christ's cross? As high as the highest heaven, and the throne of God, and the bosom of the Father that bosom out of which forever proceed all created things. Ay, as high as the highest heaven! for if you will receive it when Christ hung upon the cross, heaven came down on earth, and earth ascended into heaven.
Charles Kingsley
Oh! that we two were Maying Down the stream of the soft spring breeze Like children with violets playing, In the shade of the whispering trees.
Charles Kingsley
Three fishers went sailing away to the west,/ Away to the west as the sun went down.
Charles Kingsley
The men whom I have seen succeed best in life always have been cheerful and hopeful men who went about their business with a smile on their faces and took the changes and chances of this mortal life like men facing rough and smooth alike as it came.
Charles Kingsley
Possession means to sit astride the world Instead of having it astride of you.
Charles Kingsley
The Invitation, To Tom Highes What we can we will be, Honest Englishmen. Do the work that's nearest, Though it's dull at whiles, Helping, when we meet them, Lame dogs over stiles.
Charles Kingsley
Give me something huge to fight, — and I should enjoy that — but why make me sweep the dust?
Charles Kingsley
For men must work and women must weep, And the sooner it's over, the sooner to sleep.
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.
