You say, 'If I had a little more, I should be very satisfied.' You make a mistake. If you are not content with what you have, you would not be satisfied if it were doubled.

More quotes by Charles Spurgeon
My soul, never laugh at sin's fooleries, lest thou come to smile at sin itself. It is thine enemy, and thy Lord's enemy.
Charles Spurgeon
Praying without fervency is like hunting with a dead dog.
Charles Spurgeon
Never fear dying, beloved. Dying is the last, but the least matter that a Christian has to be anxious about. Fear living...that is a hard battle to fight, a stern discipline to endure, a rough voyage to undergo.
Charles Spurgeon
Sin is no little thing. It girded the Redeemer’s head with thorns, and pierced his heart . . . Look upon all sin as that which crucified the Saviour, and you will see it to be ‘exceeding sinful’.
Charles Spurgeon
Our spiritual manhood in heaven will discard many things which we now count precious, as a full-grown man discards the treasures of his childhood.
Charles Spurgeon
I believe that every Christian ought to be joined to some visible church that is his plain duty, according to the Scriptures. God’s people are not dogs, else they might go about one by one but they are sheep, and therefore they should be in flocks.
Charles Spurgeon
Sorrow for sin should be the keenest sorrow joy in the Lord should be the loftiest joy.
Charles Spurgeon
The distance between glorified spirits in heaven and militant saints on earth seems great but it is not so. We are not far from home-a moment will bring us there.
Charles Spurgeon
Since, O sweet Lord Jesus, Thou art the present portion of Thy people, favour us this year with such a sense of Thy preciousness, that from its first to its last day we may be glad and rejoice in Thee. Let January open with joy in the Lord, and December close with gladness in Jesus.
Charles Spurgeon
Humility is to make a right estimate of one's self.
Charles Spurgeon
It is a terribly easy matter to be a minister of the gospel and a vile hypocrite at the same time.
Charles Spurgeon
Men will never be great in theology until they are great in suffering.
Charles Spurgeon
The grandest discourse ever delivered is an ostentatious failure if the doctrine of the grace of God be absent from it.
Charles Spurgeon
A child of five, if properly instructed, can, as truly believe, and be regenerated, as an adult.
Charles Spurgeon
If you hear a man rail at the Bible, you can usually conclude that he never reads it.
Charles Spurgeon
Hold everything earthly with a loose hand, but grasp eternal things with a death-like grip
Charles Spurgeon
The higher a man is in grace, the lower he will be in his own esteem.
Charles Spurgeon
Atonement by the blood of Jesus is not an arm of Christian truth it is the heart of it.
Charles Spurgeon
It is better to preach five words of God’s Word than five million words of man’s wisdom.
Charles Spurgeon
It would be a very sharp & trying experience to me to think that I have an affliction which God never sent me, that the bitter cup was never filled by his hand, that my trials were never measured out by him, nor sent to me by his arrangement of their weight and quantity.
Charles Spurgeon
