More quotes by 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
Except a living man, there is nothing more wonderful than a book.
Charles Kingsley
It's all in the day's work, as the huntsman said when the lion ate him.
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
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
Give me something huge to fight, — and I should enjoy that — but why make me sweep the dust?

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
You are not very good if you are not better than your best friends imagine you to be.
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
A garden, sir, wherein all rainbows and flowers were heaped together.
Charles Kingsley
Whatever may be the mysteries of life and death, there is one mystery which the cross of Christ reveals to us, and that is the infinite and absolute goodness of God. Let all the rest remain a mystery so long as the mystery of the cross of Christ gives us faith for all the rest.
Charles Kingsley
