Quote

The greatest works are done by the ones. The hundreds do not often do much-the companies never it is the units-the single individuals, that are the power and the might. Individual effort is, after all, the grand thing.

More quotes by Charles Spurgeon

Image
The love of Jesus is the source of salvation. He loves, he looks, he touches us, we live.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If a crooked stick is before you, you need not explain how crooked it is. Lay a straight one down by the side of it, and the work is well done. Preach the truth, and error will stand abashed in its presence.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If the giving of the Law, while it was yet unbroken, was attended with such a display of awe-inspiring power, what will that day be when the Lord shall, with flaming fire, take vengeance on those who have willfully broken that Law?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Preach not calmly and quietly as though you were asleep, but preach with fire and pathos and passion.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
He who is his own guide is guided by a fool.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The Lord Jesus is a deep sea of joy my soul shall dive therein, shall be swallowed up in the delights of his society.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is said that if Noah's ark had to be built by a company they would not have laid the keel yet and it may be so. What is many men's business is nobody's business. The greatest things are accomplished by individual men.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
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.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The disciples of a patient Saviour should be patient themselves.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We are warned by the Word both of our duty, our danger, and our remedy. On the sea of life there would be many more wrecks if it were not for the divine storm-signals which give to the watchful a timely warning. The Bible should be our Mentor, our Monitor, our Memento Mori, our Remembrancer, and the Keeper of our Conscience.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is a very solemn delusion when ministers think they are prospering, and yet do not hear of conversions.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
To be forgiven is such sweetness that honey is tasteless in comparison with it. But yet there is one thing sweeter still, and that is to forgive. As it is more blessed to give than to receive, so to forgive rises a stage higher in experience than to be forgiven.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If there is one doctrine I have preached more than another, it is the doctrine of the Perseverance of the Saints even to the end.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A child of God should be a visible beatitude for joy and happiness, and a living doxology for gratitude and adoration.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Whenever there is a cross to be carried by any of Christ’s followers, He always bears the heavy end on His own shoulders.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I find myself frequently depressed - perhaps more so than any other person here. And I find no better cure for that depression than to trust in the Lord with all my heart, and seek to realize afresh the power of the peace-speaking blood of Jesus, and His infinite love in dying upon the cross to put away all my transgressions.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Satan does not care whether he drags you down to hell as a Calvinist or as an Arminian, so long as he can get you there.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Let us measure ourselves by our Master, and not by our fellow-servants : then pride will be impossible.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You may readily judge whether you are a child of God or a hypocrite by seeing in what direction your soul turns in seasons of severe trial. The hypocrite flies to the world and finds a sort of comfort there. But the child of God runs to his Father and expects consolation only from the Lord's hand.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
My witness is, that those who are honoured of their Lord in public, have usually to endure a secret chastening, or to carry a peculiar cross, lest by any means they exalt themselves, and fall into the snare of the devil.
