More quotes by 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
What I want is, not to possess religion, but to have a religion that shall possess me.
Charles Kingsley
Ay, marriage is the life-long miracle, The self-begetting wonder, daily fresh.
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
All we need to make us really happy is something to be enthusiastic about.
Charles Kingsley
If you wish to be miserable, think about yourself, about what you want, what you like, what respect people ought to pay you, what people think of you and then to you nothing will be pure. You will spoil everything you touch you will make sin and misery for yourself out of everything God sends you you will be as wretched as you choose.
Charles Kingsley
Toil is the true knight's pastime.
Charles Kingsley
If ifs and ands were pots and pans, there'd be no work for tinkers' hands
Charles Kingsley
For science is ... like virtue, its own exceeding great reward.
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
Our wanton accidents take root, and grow To vaunt themselves God's laws.
Charles Kingsley
So fleet the works of men, back to their earth againAncient and holy things fade like a dream.
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
He was one of those men who possess almost every gift, except the gift of the power to use them.
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
Possession means to sit astride the world Instead of having it astride of you.
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
Do what thou dost as if the earth were heaven, and thy last day the day of judgment.
Charles Kingsley
Do today's duty, fight to-day's temptation and do not weaken and distract yourself by looking forward to things which you cannot see, and could not understand if you saw them.
Charles Kingsley
Wherever is love and loyalty, great purposes and lofty souls, even though in a hovel or a mine, there is fairyland.
Charles Kingsley
