More quotes by Charles Kingsley
Love can make us fiends as well as angels.
Charles Kingsley

Charles Kingsley
Except a living man there is nothing more wonderful than a book! A message from the dead - from human souls we never saw, who lived, perhaps, thousands of miles away. And yet these, in those little sheets of paper, speak to us, arouse us, terrify us, comfort us, open their hearts to us as brothers.
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
Men must work, and women must weep.
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
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
Three fishers went sailing away to the west,/ Away to the west as the sun went down.
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
Music has been called the speech of the angels I will go farther and call it the speech of God Himself.
Charles Kingsley
