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.

More quotes by Charles Kingsley

There is a great deal of human nature in man.

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."

Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895)

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.
