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

We ought to reverence books to look on them as useful and mighty things. If they are good and true, whether they are about religion, politics, farming, trade, law, or medicine, they are the message of Christ, the maker of all things - the teacher of all truth.
Charles Kingsley
Image
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
Image
Give me something huge to fight, — and I should enjoy that — but why make me sweep the dust?
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.

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.

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?

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
Image
All we need to make us really happy is something to be enthusiastic about.
Charles Kingsley
Image
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.

Duty--the command of heaven, the eldest voice of God.
Charles Kingsley
Image
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?

Nothing is so infectious as example.
Charles Kingsley
Image
So fleet the works of men, back to their earth againAncient and holy things fade like a dream.
Charles Kingsley
Image
Young blood must have its course, lad, and every dog its day.
Charles Kingsley
Image
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
Image
Do what thou dost as if the earth were heaven, and thy last day the day of judgment.
Charles Kingsley
Image
It's all in the day's work, as the huntsman said when the lion ate him.
Charles Kingsley
Image
Wherever is love and loyalty, great purposes and lofty souls, even though in a hovel or a mine, there is fairyland.
Charles Kingsley

Men must work, and women must weep.
