Additional quotes by Charles Kingsley

I believe not only in "special providences," but in the whole universe as one infinite complexity of "special providences."

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 Spirit who alone gives wisdom, purity, and nobleness.

Fools! who fancy Christ mistaken;
Man a tool to buy and sell;
Earth a failure, God-forsaken,
Anteroom of Hell.

And the sooner it's over, the sooner to sleep— And good-bye to the bar and its moaning. - Charles Kingsley
