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.

More quotes by Charles Kingsley
Duty--the command of heaven, the eldest voice of God.
Charles Kingsley
Gradually the sunken land begins to rise again, and falls perhaps again, and rises again after that, more and more gently each time, till as it were the panting earth, worn out with the fierce passions of her fiery youth, has sobbed herself to sleep once more, and this new world of man is made.
Charles Kingsley
Young blood must have its course, lad, and every dog its day.
Charles Kingsley
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
If you do anything above party, the true hearted ones of all parties sympathize with you.
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
You are not very good if you are not better than your best friends imagine you to be.
Charles Kingsley
Do not fancy, as too many do, that thou canst praise God by singing hymns to Him in church once a week, and disobeying Him all the week long. He asks of thee works as well as words and more, he asks of thee works first and words after.
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
Have thy tools ready. God will find thee work.
Charles Kingsley
A man may learn from his Bible to be a more thorough gentleman than if he had been brought up in all the drawing-rooms in London.
Charles Kingsley
In proportion as man gets back the spirit of manliness, which is self-sacrifice, affection, loyalty loan idea beyond himself, a God above himself, so far will he rise above circumstances, and wield them at his will.
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
A garden, sir, wherein all rainbows and flowers were heaped together.
Charles Kingsley
Better is old wine than new, and old friends like-wise.
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
So fleet the works of men, back to their earth againAncient and holy things fade like a dream.
Charles Kingsley
Toil is the true knight's pastime.
Charles Kingsley
Love can make us fiends as well as angels.
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
