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.

Men must work, and women must weep.
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
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
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
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
Possession means to sit astride the world Instead of having it astride of you.
Charles Kingsley
Tis the hard grey weather Breeds hard English men.
Charles Kingsley
Pray over every truth for though the renewed heart is not desperately wicked, it is quite deceitful enough to become so, if God be forgotten a moment.
Charles Kingsley
Do noble things, not dream them all day long: And so make Life, Death, and the vast Forever one grand, sweet song.
Charles Kingsley
Grandeur . . . consists in form, and not in size: and to the eye of the philosopher, the curve drawn on a paper two inches long, is just as magnificent, just as symbolic of divine mysteries and melodies, as when embodied in the span of some cathedral roof.
Charles Kingsley
All but God is changing day by day.
Charles Kingsley
Nature's deepest laws, her only true laws, are her invisible ones.
Charles Kingsley
Have thy tools ready. God will find thee work.
Charles Kingsley
The Invitation, To Tom Highes What we can we will be, Honest Englishmen. Do the work that's nearest, Though it's dull at whiles, Helping, when we meet them, Lame dogs over stiles.
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
I do not want merely to possess a faith, I want a faith that possesses me.
Charles Kingsley
For to be discontented with the divine discontent, and to be ashamed with the noble shame, is the very germ and first upgrowth of all virtue.
Charles Kingsley
Do today's duty, fight to-day's temptation and do not weaken and distract yourself by looking forward to things which you cannot see, and could not understand if you saw them.
Charles Kingsley
Better is old wine than new, and old friends like-wise.
Charles Kingsley
