More quotes by Charles Kingsley
Possession means to sit astride the world Instead of having it astride of you.
Charles Kingsley
Have thy tools ready. God will find thee work.
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
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
Be good, sweet maid, and let who will be clever.
Charles Kingsley
Do noble things, not dream them all day long: And so make Life, Death, and the vast Forever one grand, sweet song.
Charles Kingsley
A garden, sir, wherein all rainbows and flowers were heaped together.
Charles Kingsley
All the butterflies and cockyolybirds would fly past me.
Charles Kingsley
Young blood must have its course, lad, and every dog its day.
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
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
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
All we need to make us really happy is something to be enthusiastic about.
Charles Kingsley
Three fishers went sailing away to the west,/ Away to the west as the sun went down.
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
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
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
Nothing is so infectious as example.
Charles Kingsley
