More quotes by Charles Kingsley
Nothing like one honest look, one honest thought of Christ upon His cross.

Dare we doubt such a God? Dare we murmur against such a God?
Charles Kingsley
For men must work and women must weep, And the sooner it's over, the sooner to sleep.

Gradually the sunken land begins to rise again, and falls perhaps again, and rises again after that, more and more gently each time, till as it were the panting earth, worn out with the fierce passions of her fiery youth, has sobbed herself to sleep once more, and this new world of man is made.
Charles Kingsley
A garden, sir, wherein all rainbows and flowers were heaped together.
Charles Kingsley
Grandeur . . . consists in form, and not in size: and to the eye of the philosopher, the curve drawn on a paper two inches long, is just as magnificent, just as symbolic of divine mysteries and melodies, as when embodied in the span of some cathedral roof.
Charles Kingsley
You are not very good if you are not better than your best friends imagine you to be.
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
So fleet the works of men, back to their earth againAncient and holy things fade like a dream.
Charles Kingsley
Young blood must have its course, lad, and every dog its day.
Charles Kingsley
A man may learn from his Bible to be a more thorough gentleman than if he had been brought up in all the drawing-rooms in London.
