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.

  • Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful, for beauty is God's handwriting.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • There are two freedoms - the false, where a man is free to do what he likes the true, where he is free to do what he ought.
