More quotes by 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
And how high is Christ's cross? As high as the highest heaven, and the throne of God, and the bosom of the Father that bosom out of which forever proceed all created things. Ay, as high as the highest heaven! for if you will receive it when Christ hung upon the cross, heaven came down on earth, and earth ascended into heaven.
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
O Mary, go and call the cattle home, And call the cattle home, And call the cattle home, Across the sands o' Dee!
Charles Kingsley
Give me something huge to fight, — and I should enjoy that — but why make me sweep the dust?
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
All but God is changing day by day.
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
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
Wherever is love and loyalty, great purposes and lofty souls, even though in a hovel or a mine, there is fairyland.
Charles Kingsley
And now I'm old and going--I'm sure I can't tell where One comfort is, this world's so hard, I can't be worse off there
Charles Kingsley
Oh England is a pleasant place for them that's rich and high, But England is a cruel place for such poor folks as I
Charles Kingsley
The Invitation, To Tom Highes What we can we will be, Honest Englishmen. Do the work that's nearest, Though it's dull at whiles, Helping, when we meet them, Lame dogs over stiles.
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
Have thy tools ready. God will find thee work.
Charles Kingsley
Men must work, and women must weep.
Charles Kingsley
Ay, marriage is the life-long miracle, The self-begetting wonder, daily fresh.
Charles Kingsley
Gradually the sunken land begins to rise again, and falls perhaps again, and rises again after that, more and more gently each time, till as it were the panting earth, worn out with the fierce passions of her fiery youth, has sobbed herself to sleep once more, and this new world of man is made.
Charles Kingsley
