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
Love can make us fiends as well as angels.
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
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
[The] great fairy Science, who is likely to be queen of all the fairies for many a year to come, can only do you good, and never do you harm.
Charles Kingsley
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?
Charles Kingsley
Three fishers went sailing away to the west,/ Away to the west as the sun went down.
Charles Kingsley
Being forced to work, and forced to do your best, will breed in you temperance and self-control, diligence and strength of will, cheerfulness and content, and a hundred virtues which the idle will never know.
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
Life is too short for mean anxieties.
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
What I want is, not to possess religion, but to have a religion that shall possess me.
Charles Kingsley
Whatever may be the mysteries of life and death, there is one mystery which the cross of Christ reveals to us, and that is the infinite and absolute goodness of God. Let all the rest remain a mystery so long as the mystery of the cross of Christ gives us faith for all the rest.
Charles Kingsley
If ifs and ands were pots and pans, there'd be no work for tinkers' hands
Charles Kingsley
Tis the hard grey weather Breeds hard English men.
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
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.
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 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
Do what thou dost as if the earth were heaven, and thy last day the day of judgment.
Charles Kingsley
