More quotes by Charles Kingsley
Nothing like one honest look, one honest thought of Christ upon His cross. That tells us how much He has been through, how much He endured, how much He conquered, how much God loved us, who spared not His only begotten Son, but freely gave Him for us. Dare we doubt such a God? Dare we murmur against such a God?
Charles Kingsley
Look at the bow in the cloud, in the very rain itself. That is a sign that the sun, though you cannot see it, is shining still -- that up above beyond the cloud is still sunlight and warmth and cloudless blue sky.
Charles Kingsley
Being forced to work, and forced to do your best, will breed in you temperance and self-control, diligence and strength of will, cheerfulness and content, and a hundred virtues which the idle will never know.
Charles Kingsley
Therefore, let us be patient, patient and let God our Father teach His own lesson, His own way. Let us try to learn it well and quickly but do not let us fancy that He will ring the school-bell, and send us to play before our lesson is learnt.
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.
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
Young blood must have its course, lad, and every dog its day.
Charles Kingsley
If I am ever obscure in my expressions, do not fancy that therefore I am deep. If I were really deep, all the world would understand, though they might not appreciate. The perfectly popular style is the perfectly scientific one. To me an obscurity is a reason for suspecting a fallacy.
Charles Kingsley
I am not aware that payment, or even favors, however gracious, bind any man's soul and conscience in questions of highest morality and highest importance.
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
How long would it take a school-inspector of average activity to tumble head over heels from London toYork?
Charles Kingsley
Our wanton accidents take root, and grow To vaunt themselves God's laws.
Charles Kingsley
He was not only, I soon discovered, a water drinker, but a strict vegetarian, to which, perhaps, he owed a great deal of the almost preternatural clearness, volubility, and sensitiveness of mind.
Charles Kingsley
Do you think that a man is renewed by God's Spirit, when except for a few religious phrases, and a little more outside respectability, he is just the old man, the same character at heart he ever was?
Charles Kingsley
Do not fancy, as too many do, that thou canst praise God by singing hymns to Him in church once a week, and disobeying Him all the week long. He asks of thee works as well as words and more, he asks of thee works first and words after.
Charles Kingsley
Life is too short for mean anxieties.
Charles Kingsley
Be good, sweet maid, and let who will be clever.
Charles Kingsley
All we need to make us really happy is something to be enthusiastic about.
Charles Kingsley
Every duty which is bidden to wait returns with seven fresh duties at its back.
Charles Kingsley
For science is ... like virtue, its own exceeding great reward.
Charles Kingsley
