More quotes by Charles Kingsley
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.
Charles Kingsley
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
You are not very good if you are not better than your best friends imagine you to be.
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
What is the commonest, and yet the least remembered form of heroism? The heroism of an average mother. Ah! when I think of that broad fact I gather hope again for poor humanity, and this dark world looks bright, this diseased world looks wholesome to me once more, because, whatever else it is or is not full of, it is at least full of mothers.
Charles Kingsley
Duty--the command of heaven, the eldest voice of God.
Charles Kingsley
Look at the bow in the cloud, in the very rain itself. That is a sign that the sun, though you cannot see it, is shining still -- that up above beyond the cloud is still sunlight and warmth and cloudless blue sky.
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
For science is ... like virtue, its own exceeding great reward.
Charles Kingsley
We ought to reverence books to look on them as useful and mighty things. If they are good and true, whether they are about religion, politics, farming, trade, law, or medicine, they are the message of Christ, the maker of all things - the teacher of all truth.
Charles Kingsley
How long would it take a school-inspector of average activity to tumble head over heels from London toYork?
Charles Kingsley
If ifs and ands were pots and pans, there'd be no work for tinkers' hands
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
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
It's all in the day's work, as the huntsman said when the lion ate him.
Charles Kingsley
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.
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
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.
Charles Kingsley
Men must work, and women must weep.
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
