Habits, soft and pliant at first, are like some coral stones, which are easily cut when first quarried, but soon become hard as adamant.

More quotes by Charles Spurgeon
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
We are all men, feeble, frail, and apt to faint.
Charles Spurgeon
When it is the Lord’s work in which we rejoice, we need not be afraid of being too glad.
Charles Spurgeon
I know nothing that can so comfort the soul, so calm the swelling billows of grief and sorrow, so speak peace to the winds of trial, as a devout musing upon the subject of the Godhead.
Charles Spurgeon
Satisfaction with results will be the [death] knell of progress. No man is good who thinks that he cannot be better. He has no holiness who thinks that he is holy enough.
Charles Spurgeon
We know so little about the future that to worry about it would be the height of foolishness.
Charles Spurgeon
John Bunyan, while he had a surpassing genius, would not condescend to cull his language from the garden of flowers but he went into the hayfield and the meadow, and plucked up his language by the roots, and spoke out in the words that the people used in their cottages.
Charles Spurgeon
Unbelief is the mother of vice it is the parent of sin and, therefore, I say it is a pestilent evil-a master sin.
Charles Spurgeon
If by excessive labor we die before reaching the average age of man, worn out in the Master's service, then glory be to God. We shall have so much less of earth and so much more of heaven. It is our duty and our privilege to exhaust our lives for Jesus.
Charles Spurgeon
Sincere repentance is continual. Believers repent until their dying day. This dropping well is not intermittent.
Charles Spurgeon
The sovereign electing grace of God chooses us to repentance, to faith, and afterwards to holiness of living, to Christian service, to zeal, and to devotion.
Charles Spurgeon
You have need to pray to God, not only to help you in your troubles--but to help you in your blessings
Charles Spurgeon
From all the afflictions, Your glory shall spring. And the deeper the sorrow, the louder you'll sing.
Charles Spurgeon
If your religion does not make you holy, it will damn you. It is simply painted pageantry to go to hell in.
Charles Spurgeon
Groanings which cannot be uttered are often prayers which cannot be refused.
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
You say, 'On the off chance that I had somewhat more, I ought to be exceptionally fulfilled.' You commit an error. On the off chance that you are not content with what you have, you would not be fulfilled in the event that it were multiplied.
Charles Spurgeon
I believe that in public worship we should do well to be bound by no human rules, and constrained by no stereotyped order.
Charles Spurgeon
To think that before the hills were formed, or the channels of the sea were scooped out, God loved me that from everlasting to everlasting His mercy is upon His people. Is not that a consolation?
Charles Spurgeon
If the professed convert distinctly and deliberately declares that he knows the Lord's will, but does not mean to attend to it, you are not to pamper his presumptions, but it is your duty to assure him that he is not saved.
Charles Spurgeon
