More quotes by 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
The loveliest fairy in the world and her name is Mrs Do as you would bed one by.
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
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
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
I hope that my children, at least, if not I myself, will see the day when ignorance of the primary laws and facts of science will be looked upon as a defect only second to ignorance of the primary laws of religion and morality.
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
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
See the land, her Easter keeping, Rises as her Maker rose. Seeds, so long in darkness sleeping, Burst at last from winter snows. Earth with heaven above rejoices.
Charles Kingsley
Have thy tools ready. God will find thee work.
Charles Kingsley
Life is too short for mean anxieties.
Charles Kingsley
We shall be made truly wise if we be made content content, too, not only with what we can understand, but content with what we do not understand-the habit of mind which theologians call, and rightly, faith in God.
Charles Kingsley
He was one of those men who possess almost every gift, except the gift of the power to use them.
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
Because I believe in a God of absolute and unbounded love, therefore I believe in a loving anger of His which will and must devour and destroy all which is decayed, monstrous, abortive in His universe till all enemies shall be put under His feet, and God shall be all in all.
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
Young blood must have its course, lad, and every dog its day.
Charles Kingsley
The men whom I have seen succeed best in life always have been cheerful and hopeful men who went about their business with a smile on their faces and took the changes and chances of this mortal life like men facing rough and smooth alike as it came.
Charles Kingsley
All the butterflies and cockyolybirds would fly past me.
Charles Kingsley
Are gods more ruthless than mortals? Have they no mercy for youth? no love for the souls who have loved them?
Charles Kingsley
