All but God is changing day by day.
Charles Kingsley
Image
Do what thou dost as if the earth were heaven, and thy last day the day of judgment.
Charles Kingsley
Image
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.

Image
Except a living man, there is nothing more wonderful than a book.
Charles Kingsley
Image
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.

Image
The loveliest fairy in the world and her name is Mrs Do as you would bed one by.
Charles Kingsley
Image
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
Image
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
Oh! that we two were Maying Down the stream of the soft spring breeze Like children with violets playing, In the shade of the whispering trees.
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
Image
You are not very good if you are not better than your best friends imagine you to be.
Charles Kingsley
Image
Do noble things, not dream them all day long: And so make Life, Death, and the vast Forever one grand, sweet song.
Charles Kingsley
Image
If you do anything above party, the true hearted ones of all parties sympathize with you.

Three fishers went sailing away to the west,/ Away to the west as the sun went down.
