" "
And how high is Christ's cross? As high as the highest heaven, and the throne of God, and the bosom of the Father — that bosom out of which forever proceed all created things. Ay, as high as the highest heaven! for — if you will receive it — when Christ hung upon the cross, heaven came down on earth, and earth ascended into heaven.

Additional quotes by Charles Kingsley

When all the world is old, lad,

And all the sport is stale, lad,

And the sunshine follows the rain;
And yesterday's sneer and yesterday's frown
Can never come over again.
