Charles Kingsley Mean Quotations

After all, there is such a thing as looking like a gentleman. There are men whose class no dirt or rags can hide, any more than they could Ulysses. I have seen such men in plenty among workmen, too; but, on the whole, the gentleman--by whom I do not mean just now the rich--have the superiority in that point. But not, please God, forever. Give us the same air, water, exercise, education, good society, and you will see whether this "haggardness," this "coarseness" (etc., for the list is too long to specify), be an accident, or a property, of the man of the people.

Possession means to sit astride the world Instead of having it astride of you.

It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, Can never know what true friendship means.

Life is too short for mean anxieties.
