Charles Spurgeon

There is nothing in the law of God that will rob you of happiness; it only denies you that which would cost you sorrow.

Free will I have often heard of, but I have never seen it. I have always met with will, and plenty of it, but it has either been led captive by sin or held in the blessed bonds of grace.

Prayer is the thermometer of grace.

How gentle and tender ought we to be with others who are foolish when we remember how foolish we are ourselves

A time will come when instead of shepherds feeding the sheep, the church will have clowns entertaining the goats

Scripture is like a lion. Who ever heard of defending a lion? Just turn it loose; it will defend itself.

You will win as many souls as God gives you, but no one will be converted by your own power.

It is the surest proof of man's natural enmity against God that he dares to impute falsehood to one who is truth itself.

If God requires of the sinner, dead in sin, that he should take the first step, then he requires just that which renders salvation as impossible under the gospel as it was under the law, since man is as unable to believe as he is to obey.

I cannot agree with those who say that they have 'new truth' to teach. The two words seem to me to contradict each other; that _x000D_ which is new is not true. It is the old that is true, for truth is as old as God himself.

There is dust enough on some of your Bibles to write 'damnation' with your fingers.

It is not great talents God blesses so much as likeness to Jesus.

When we come to the end of self we come to the beginning of Christ.

If I had my choice of all the blessings I can conceive of I would choose perfect conformity to the Lord Jesus, or, in one word, holiness.

You might not always get what you want, but you always get what you expect.

It is a great pity when the one who should be the head figure is a mere figure head.

As a church we must love Jesus, or else we have lost our reason for existence.

Let us measure ourselves by our Master, and not by our fellow-servants : then pride will be impossible.

A tear is enough water to float a desire to God.

Too many think lightly of sin, and therefore think lightly of the Savior.

To think that before the hills were formed, or the channels of the sea were scooped out, God loved me; that from everlasting to everlasting His mercy is upon His people. Is not that a consolation?
