Charles Kingsley
Nothing is so infectious as example.
Charles Kingsley
Except a living man, there is nothing more wonderful than a book.
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
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.
