More quotes by Charles Kingsley
If you want to be miserable, think about yourself, about what you want, what you like, what respect people ought to pay you and what people think of you.
Charles Kingsley
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
What I want is, not to possess religion, but to have a religion that shall possess me.
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
No earnest thinker is a plagiarist pure and simple. He will never borrow from others that which he has not already, more or less, thought out for himself.
Charles Kingsley
Love can make us fiends as well as angels.
Charles Kingsley
Nothing is so infectious as example.
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

Charles Kingsley
Toil is the true knight's pastime.
Charles Kingsley
Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead. The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth.
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
I am not aware that payment, or even favors, however gracious, bind any man's soul and conscience in questions of highest morality and highest importance.
Charles Kingsley
If you do anything above party, the true hearted ones of all parties sympathize with you.
Charles Kingsley
Tis the hard grey weather Breeds hard English men.
Charles Kingsley
The most wonderful and the strongest things in the world, you know, are just the things which no one can see.
Charles Kingsley
The loveliest fairy in the world and her name is Mrs Do as you would bed one by.
Charles Kingsley
Possession means to sit astride the world Instead of having it astride of you.
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
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
