Charles Kingsley Quotes

When all the world is young, lad, and all the trees are green; and every goose a swan, lad, and every lass a queen; then hey for boot and horse, lad, and round the world away; young blood must have its course, lad, and every dog his day Picture Quote #1

For men must work and women must weep, and the sooner it's over, the sooner to sleep Picture Quote #1

So fleet the works of men, back to their Earth again; ancient and holy things fade like a dream Picture Quote #1

The men whom I have seen succeed best in life always have been cheerful and hopeful men; who went about their business with a smile on their faces; and took the changes and chances of this mortal life like men; facing rough and smooth alike as it came Picture Quote #1

There is something very wonderful about music. Words are wonderful enough; but music is even more wonderful. It speaks not to our thoughts as words do; it speaks through our hearts and spirits, to the very core and root of our souls. Music soothes us, stirs us up, it puts noble feelings in us, it can make us cringe; and it can melt us to tears; and yet we have no idea how. It is a language by itself, just as perfect in its ways as speech, as words, just as divine, just as blessed Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Except a living man there is nothing more wonderful than a book! A message to us 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, teach us, comfort us, open their hearts to us as brothers Picture Quote #1

Three fishers went sailing away to the west, away to the west as the sun went down; each thought on the woman who loved him the best, and the children stood watching them out of the town Picture Quote #1

Wherever is love and loyalty, great purposes and lofty souls, even though in a hovel or a mine, there is fairyland Picture Quote #1

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? Picture Quote #1

Music is a sacred, a divine, a God-like thing, and was given to man by Christ to lift our hearts up to God, and make us feel something of the glory and beauty of God, and of all which God has made Picture Quote #1

The righteousness which is by faith in Christ is a loving heart and a loving life, which every man will long to lead who believes really in Jesus Christ Picture Quote #1

Depend upon it, a man never experiences such pleasure or grief after fourteen years as he does before, unless in some cases, in his first lovemaking, when the sensation is new to him Picture Quote #1

If thou art fighting against thy sins so is God. On thy side is God who made all, and Christ who died for all, and the holy spirit who alone gives wisdom, purity, and nobleness Picture Quote #1

Whatever may be the mysteries of life and death, there is one mystery which the cross of Christ reveals to us, and that is the infinite and absolute goodness of God. Let all the rest remain a mystery so long as the mystery of the cross of Christ gives us faith for all the rest Picture Quote #1

I am not aware that payment, or even favors, however gracious, bind any man's soul and conscience in questions of highest morality and highest importance Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

We shall be made truly wise if we be made content; content, too, not only with what we can understand, but content with what we do not understand, - the habit of mind which theologians call, and rightly, faith its God Picture Quote #1

I believe not only in special providences, but in the whole universe as one infinite complexity of special providences Picture Quote #1

Ah, my friends, we must look out and around to see what God is like. It is when we persist in turning our eyes inward and prying curiously over our own imperfections, that we learn to make God after our own image, and fancy that our own darkness and hardness of heart are the patterns of his light and love Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Nothing that man ever invents will absolve him from the universal necessity of being good as God is good, righteous as God is righteous, and holy as God is holy Picture Quote #1

As we pledge the health of our general, who fares as rough as we, what can daunt us, what can turn us, led to death by such as he? Picture Quote #1

Do today's duty, fight today'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 Picture Quote #1

Take comfort, and recollect however little you and I may know, God knows; he knows himself and you and me and all things; and his mercy is over all his works Picture Quote #1

I have fought my fight, I have lived my life, I have drunk my share of wine; from trier to colin there was never a knight let a merrier life than mine Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1
