The Book of Proverbs deals very hard blows against sluggards, and Christian ministers do well frequently to denounce the great sin of idleness, which is the mother of a huge family of sins.

More quotes by Charles Spurgeon
We shall not adjust our Bible to the age but before we have done with it, by God’s grace, we shall adjust the age to the Bible.
Charles Spurgeon
No matter how good you think yourself to be, you cannot enter heaven unless it is under the terms of sovereign grace.
Charles Spurgeon
It is a very solemn delusion when ministers think they are prospering, and yet do not hear of conversions.
Charles Spurgeon
We need winds and tempests to exercise our faith, to tear off the rotten bough of self-dependence, and to root us more firmly in Christ. The day of evil reveals to us the value of our glorious hope.
Charles Spurgeon
When God's mercies are coming, their footfalls are our desires to pray.
Charles Spurgeon
Amusement should be used to do us good “like a medicine”: it must never be used as the food of the man...Many have had all holy thoughts and gracious resolutions stamped out by perpetual trifling. Pleasure so called is the murderer of thought. This is the age of excessive amusement: everybody craves for it, like a babe for its rattle.
Charles Spurgeon
If any man is not sure that he is in Christ, he ought not to be easy one moment until he is sure. Dear friend, without the fullest confidence as to your saved condition, you have no right to be at ease, and I pray you may never be so. This is a matter too important to be left undecided.
Charles Spurgeon
A sinner can no more repent and believe without the Holy Spirit's aid than he can create a world.
Charles Spurgeon
As well might a gnat seek to drink in the ocean, as a finite creature to comprehend the Eternal God. A God whom we could understand would be no God. If we could grasp Him, He could not be infinite. If we could understand Him, He could not be divine.
Charles Spurgeon
But no thoughtful man's life is uninteresting or devoid of marvels. A sincere life cannot be empty of memorable occurrences.
Charles Spurgeon
If Christ be anything he must be everything. O rest not till love and faith in Jesus be the master passions of your soul!
Charles Spurgeon
He would have us like children who believe what their father tells them.
Charles Spurgeon
Men to be truly won must be won by truth.
Charles Spurgeon
Prayer is the best response to hatred.
Charles Spurgeon
A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.
Charles Spurgeon
A prayerless church member is a hindrance. He is in the body like a rotting bone or a decayed tooth. Before long, since he does not contribute to the benefit of his brethren, he will become a danger and a sorrow to them. Neglect of private prayer is the locust which devours the strength of the church.
Charles Spurgeon
God is too good to be unkind and He is too wise to be mistaken. And when we cannot trace His hand, we must trust His heart. When you are so weak that you cannot do much more than cry, you coin diamonds with both your eyes. The sweetest prayers God ever hears are the groans and sighs of those who have no hope in anything but his love.
Charles Spurgeon
Gospel riches are sent to remove our wretchedness, and mercy to remove our misery.
Charles Spurgeon
God notices every one of us there is not a sparrow or a worm that continues to live apart from His decrees.
Charles Spurgeon
Our extremities are God's opportunities.
Charles Spurgeon
