More quotes by 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
Nothing is so infectious as example.
Charles Kingsley
Tis the hard grey weather Breeds hard English men.
Charles Kingsley
All the butterflies and cockyolybirds would fly past me.
Charles Kingsley
Give me something huge to fight, — and I should enjoy that — but why make me sweep the dust?
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
Toil is the true knight's pastime.
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
I do not want merely to possess a faith, I want a faith that possesses me.
Charles Kingsley
Have thy tools ready. God will find thee work.
Charles Kingsley
See the land, her Easter keeping, Rises as her Maker rose. Seeds, so long in darkness sleeping, Burst at last from winter snows. Earth with heaven above rejoices.
Charles Kingsley
Take comfort, and recollect however little you and I may know, God knows He knows Himself and you and me and all things and His mercy is over all His works.
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
It's all in the day's work, as the huntsman said when the lion ate him.
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
Every duty which is bidden to wait returns with seven fresh duties at its back.
Charles Kingsley
Better is old wine than new, and old friends like-wise.
Charles Kingsley
We have used the Bible as if it was a mere special constable's handbook — an opium-dose for keeping beasts of burden patient while they were being overloaded — a mere book to keep the poor in order.
Charles Kingsley
How long would it take a school-inspector of average activity to tumble head over heels from London toYork?
