Image
Nothing is so infectious as example.
Charles Kingsley
Image
If I am ever obscure in my expressions, do not fancy that therefore I am deep. If I were really deep, all the world would understand, though they might not appreciate. The perfectly popular style is the perfectly scientific one. To me an obscurity is a reason for suspecting a fallacy.
Charles Kingsley
Image
Give me something huge to fight, — and I should enjoy that — but why make me sweep the dust?
Charles Kingsley
Image
Every duty which is bidden to wait returns with seven fresh duties at its back.

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.

If you wish to be miserable, think about yourself, about what you want, what you like, what respect people ought to pay you, what people think of you and then to you nothing will be pure. You will spoil everything you touch you will make sin and misery for yourself out of everything God sends you you will be as wretched as you choose.

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
Image
If you want to be miserable, think about yourself, about what you want, what you like, what respect people ought to pay you and what people think of you.
Charles Kingsley
Image
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
Image
Three fishers went sailing away to the west,/ Away to the west as the sun went down.
Charles Kingsley
Image
It's all in the day's work, as the huntsman said when the lion ate him.
Charles Kingsley
Image
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
Image
Do noble things, not dream them all day long: And so make Life, Death, and the vast Forever one grand, sweet song.
Charles Kingsley
Image
I do not want merely to possess a faith, I want a faith that possesses me.
Charles Kingsley

A garden, sir, wherein all rainbows and flowers were heaped together.

Tis the hard grey weather Breeds hard English men.

He was one of those men who possess almost every gift, except the gift of the power to use them.
