Great hearts can only be made by great troubles. The spade of trouble digs the reservoir of comfort deeper, and makes more room for consolation.

More quotes by Charles Spurgeon
I believe that the happiest of all Christians and the truest of Christians are those who never dare to doubt God, but take His Word simply as it stands, and believe it, and ask no questions, just feeling assured that if God has said it, it will be so.
Charles Spurgeon
If you are renewed by grace, and were to meet your old self, I am sure you would be very anxious to get out of his company.
Charles Spurgeon
There is nothing little in God His mercy is like Himself-it is infinite. You cannot measure it. His mercy is so great that it forgives great sins to great sinners, after great lengths of time, and then gives great favours and great privileges, and raises us up to great enjoyments in the great heaven of the great God.
Charles Spurgeon
The shop, the barn, the scullery, and the smithy become temples when men and women do all to the glory of God! The divine service is not a thing of a few hours and a few places, but all life becomes holiness unto the Lord, and every place and thing, as consecrated as the tabernacle and it's golden candlestick.
Charles Spurgeon
Though you have changed a thousand times, He has not changed once.
Charles Spurgeon
Morality is a neat cover for foul venom, but it does not alter the fact that the heart is vile, and the man himself is under damnation. Men will be damned with good works as well as without them, if they make them their confidence (rather than Jesus Christ).
Charles Spurgeon
Oh my brethren, Bold hearted men are always called mean-spirited by cowards!
Charles Spurgeon
A child's cry touches a father's heart.
Charles Spurgeon
When you speak of heaven, let your face light up let it be irradiated by a heavenly gleam let your eyes shine with reflected glory. But when you speak of hell, your ordinary expression will do.
Charles Spurgeon
God has a way of giving by the cartloads to those who give away by shovelfuls.
Charles Spurgeon
Live and die without prayer, and you will pray long enough when you get to hell.
Charles Spurgeon
By all means read the Puritans, they are worth more than all the modern stuff put together.
Charles Spurgeon
We have all heard the story of the man who preached so well and lived so badly, that when he was in the pulpit everybody said he ought never to come out again, and when he was out of it they all declared he never ought to enter it again.
Charles Spurgeon
From the descent of the Holy Spirit at the beginning we may learn something concerning His operations at the present time. Remember at the outset that whatever the Holy Spirit was at the first, He is that now, for as God, He remains forever the same-whatever He did then He is able to do still, for His power is by no means diminished.
Charles Spurgeon
Intercessory prayer is an act of communion with Christ, for Jesus pleads for the sons of men.
Charles Spurgeon
Do not wade far out into the dangerous sea of this world's comfort. Take the good that God provides you, but say of it, It passeth away for, indeed, it is but a temporary supply for a temporary need. Never suffer your goods to become your God.
Charles Spurgeon
Men to be truly won must be won by truth.
Charles Spurgeon
He who is his own guide is guided by a fool.
Charles Spurgeon
I do not come into this pulpit hoping that perhaps somebody will of his own free will return to Christ. My hope lies in another quarter. I hope that my Master will lay hold of some of them and say, You are mine, and you shall be mine. I claim you for myself. My hope arises from the freeness of grace, and not from the freedom of the will.
Charles Spurgeon
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.
Charles Spurgeon
