Pleasure, so called, is the murderer of serious thought. This is the age of excessive amusement. Everybody craves for it, like a babe for its rattle!

More quotes by Charles Spurgeon
We must trust as if it all depended on God and work as if it all depended on us
Charles Spurgeon
A vile imagination, once indulged, gets the key of our minds, and can get in again very easily, whether we will or no, and can so return as to bring seven other spirits with it more wicked than itself and what may follow no one knows.
Charles Spurgeon
Our great object of glorifying God is to be mainly achieved by the winning of souls Do not close a single sermon without addressing the ungodly.
Charles Spurgeon
A church in the land without the Spirit is rather a curse than a blessing. If you have not the Spirit of God, Christian worker, remember that you stand in somebody else's way you are a fruitless tree standing where a fruitful tree might grow.
Charles Spurgeon
There is no fatigue so wearisome as that which comes from lack of work.
Charles Spurgeon
No life can surpass that of a man who quietly continues to serve God in the place where providence has placed him.
Charles Spurgeon
Without the Spirit of God, we can do nothing. We are as ships without wind. We are useless.
Charles Spurgeon
Some people like to read so many [Bible] chapters every day. I would not dissuade them from the practice, but I would rather lay my soul asoak in half a dozen verses all day than rinse my hand in several chapters. Oh, to be bathed in a text of Scripture, and to let it be sucked up in your very soul, till it saturates your heart!
Charles Spurgeon
We are too prone to engrave our trials in marble and write our blessings in sand.
Charles Spurgeon
God is our portion, Christ our companion, the Spirit our Comforter, Earth our lodge, and Heaven is our home.
Charles Spurgeon
Man is a fallen star till he is right with heaven: he is out of order with himself and all around him till he occupies his true place in relation to God. When he serves God, he has reached that point where he doth serve himself best, and enjoys himself most. It is man's honour, it is man's joy, it is man's heaven, to live unto God.
Charles Spurgeon
Life is short and we have scarcely begun to live when we are called to die.
Charles Spurgeon
No man can do me a truer kindness in this world than to pray for me.
Charles Spurgeon
It is the very joy of this earthly life to think that it will come to an end.
Charles Spurgeon
The more holy a man becomes, the more conscious he is of unholiness.
Charles Spurgeon
If any man thinks ill of you, do not be angry with him, for you are worse than he thinks you to be.
Charles Spurgeon
I believe that many professing Christians are cold and uncomfortable because they are doing nothing for their Lord but if they actively served him, their blood would begin to circulate spiritually, and it would be well with them.
Charles Spurgeon
The Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. It is the most grievous sentence of the three, but it overflows with comfort. Strange is it that where misery was concentrated mercy reigned where sorrow reached her climax weary souls find rest.
Charles Spurgeon
I would sooner be holy than happy if the two things could be divorced. Were it possible for a man always to sorrow and yet to be pure, I would choose the sorrow if I might win the purity, for to be free from the power of sin, to be made to love holiness, is true happiness.
Charles Spurgeon
Good thoughts are blessed guests, and should be heartily welcomed, well fed, and much sought after. Like rose leaves, they give out a sweet smell if laid up in the jar of memory.
Charles Spurgeon
