A good character is the best tombstone. Those who loved you and were helped by you will remember you when forget-me-nots have withered. Carve your name on hearts, not on marble.

Charles Spurgeon



A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.

Charles Spurgeon



A sinner can no more repent and believe without the Holy Spirit's aid than he can create a world.

Charles Spurgeon



A vigorous temper is not altogether an evil. Men who are easy as an old shoe are generally of little worth.

Charles Spurgeon



Anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strength.

Charles Spurgeon



Beware of no man more than of yourself; we carry our worst enemies within us.

Charles Spurgeon



By perseverance the snail reached the ark.

Charles Spurgeon



Free will carried many a soul to hell, but never a soul to heaven.

Charles Spurgeon



Giving is true having.

Charles Spurgeon



Humility is to make a right estimate of one's self.

Charles Spurgeon



I believe that nothing happens apart from divine determination and decree. We shall never be able to escape from the doctrine of divine predestination - the doctrine that God has foreordained certain people unto eternal life.

Charles Spurgeon



I do not think I should care to go on worshipping a Madonna even if she did wink. One cannot make much out of a wink. We want something more than that from the object of our adoration.

Charles Spurgeon



I would go to the deeps a hundred times to cheer a downcast spirit. It is good for me to have been afflicted, that I might know how to speak a word in season to one that is weary.

Charles Spurgeon



If any of you should ask me for an epitome of the Christian religion, I should say that it is in one word - prayer. Live and die without prayer, and you will pray long enough when you get to hell.

Charles Spurgeon



If I were a Roman Catholic, I should turn a heretic, in sheer desperation, because I would rather go to heaven than go to purgatory.

Charles Spurgeon



It has been said that our anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow, but only empties today of its strength.

Charles Spurgeon



It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness.

Charles Spurgeon



It is not well to make great changes in old age.

Charles Spurgeon



It's not the having, it's the getting.

Charles Spurgeon



Many men owe the grandeur of their lives to their tremendous difficulties.

Charles Spurgeon



In Christ
