More quotes by Charles Kingsley
Pray over every truth for though the renewed heart is not desperately wicked, it is quite deceitful enough to become so, if God be forgotten a moment.
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
Duty--the command of heaven, the eldest voice of God.
Charles Kingsley
If you want to be miserable, think about yourself, about what you want, what you like, what respect people ought to pay you and what people think of you.
Charles Kingsley
All but God is changing day by day.
Charles Kingsley
Tis the hard grey weather Breeds hard English men.
Charles Kingsley
If you wish to be like a little child, study what a little child could understand — nature and do what a little child could do — love.
Charles Kingsley
All we need to make us really happy is something to be enthusiastic about.
Charles Kingsley
It's all in the day's work, as the huntsman said when the lion ate him.
Charles Kingsley
You are not very good if you are not better than your best friends imagine you to be.
Charles Kingsley
What I want is, not to possess religion, but to have a religion that shall possess me.
Charles Kingsley
Toil is the true knight's pastime.
Charles Kingsley
Do what thou dost as if the earth were heaven, and thy last day the day of judgment.
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
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
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.
Charles Kingsley
Study nature as the countenance of God.
Charles Kingsley
Give me something huge to fight, — and I should enjoy that — but why make me sweep the dust?
Charles Kingsley
Because I believe in a God of absolute and unbounded love, therefore I believe in a loving anger of His which will and must devour and destroy all which is decayed, monstrous, abortive in His universe till all enemies shall be put under His feet, and God shall be all in all.
Charles Kingsley
Music has been called the speech of the angels I will go farther and call it the speech of God Himself.
Charles Kingsley
