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.

More quotes by Charles Kingsley

There is a great deal of human nature in man.

This is eternal life; a life of everlasting love, showing itself in everlasting good works; and whosoever lives that life, he lives the life of God, and hath eternal life.

Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895)

Be good, sweet maid, and let who will be clever;
Do noble things, not dream them, all day long:
And so make life, death, and that vast for-ever
One grand, sweet song.

Andromeda and Other Poems (1858)

May God keep our hearts pure from that selfishness which is the root of all sin.

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