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.

More quotes by Charles Kingsley
All we need to make us really happy is something to be enthusiastic about.
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
[The] great fairy Science, who is likely to be queen of all the fairies for many a year to come, can only do you good, and never do you harm.
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
Study nature as the countenance of God.
Charles Kingsley
A garden, sir, wherein all rainbows and flowers were heaped together.
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.
Charles Kingsley
Therefore, let us be patient, patient and let God our Father teach His own lesson, His own way. Let us try to learn it well and quickly but do not let us fancy that He will ring the school-bell, and send us to play before our lesson is learnt.
Charles Kingsley
He was one of those men who possess almost every gift, except the gift of the power to use them.
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
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
Possession means to sit astride the world Instead of having it astride of you.
Charles Kingsley
It is not darkness you are going to, for God is Light. It is not lonely, for Christ is with you. It is not unknown country, for Christ is there.
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
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
We have used the Bible as if it was a mere special constable's handbook — an opium-dose for keeping beasts of burden patient while they were being overloaded — a mere book to keep the poor in order.
Charles Kingsley
Do what thou dost as if the earth were heaven, and thy last day the day of judgment.
Charles Kingsley
Give me something huge to fight, — and I should enjoy that — but why make me sweep the dust?
Charles Kingsley
Life is too short for mean anxieties.
