Charles Kingsley Quotes

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 Picture Quote #1

Beauty is God’s handwriting. Welcome it in every fair face, every fair day, every fair flower Picture Quote #1

The angler only is brought close, face to face with the flower and bird and insect life of the rich riverbanks, the only part of the landscape where the hand of man has never interfered Picture Quote #1

Mathematical knowledge is not-as all Cambridge men are surely aware-the result of any special gift. It is merely the development of those conceptions of form and number which every human being possesses; and any person of average intellect can make himself a fair mathematician if he will only pay continuous attention; in plain English, think enough about the subject Picture Quote #1

How many serious family quarrels, marriages out of spite, and alterations of wills, might have been prevented by a gentle dose of blue pill!-What awful instances of chronic dyspepsia in the characters of Hamlet and Othello! Banish dyspepsia and spirituous liquors from society, and you have no crime, or at least so little that you would not consider it worth mentioning Picture Quote #1

Cheerfulness is full of significance: it suggests good health, a clear conscience, and a soul at peace with all human nature 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 in God Picture Quote #1

There will be no true freedom without virtue, no true science without religion, no true industry without the fear of God and love to your fellow citizens Picture Quote #1

A blessed thing it is for any man or woman to have a friend, one human soul whom we can trust utterly, who knows the best and worst of us, and who loves us in spite of all our faults Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, can never know what true friendship means Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Every winter, when the great sun has turned his face away, the Earth goes down into a vale of grief, and fasts, and weeps, and shrouds herself in sables, leaving her wedding-garlands to decay-- then leaps in spring to his returning kisses Picture Quote #1

See the land, her easter keeping, rises as her maker rose; seeds so long in darkness sleeping burst at last from winter snows. Earth with heaven above rejoices; fields and garlands hail the spring; shaughs and woodlands ring with voices while the wild birds build and sing 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 whom we never saw, who lived perhaps thousands of miles away; and yet these, on those little sheets of paper, speak to us, teach us, comfort us, open their hearts to us as brothers Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1
