A friend to everybody is often a friend to nobody, or else in his simplicity he robs his family to help strangers, and becomes brother to a beggar. There is wisdom in generosity, as in everything else.

More quotes by Charles Spurgeon
The full he empties, and the empty he fills.
Charles Spurgeon
As the salt flavors every drop in the Atlantic, so does sin affect every atom of our nature. It is so sadly there, so abundantly there, that if you cannot detect it, you are deceived.
Charles Spurgeon
Soul-serving requires a heart that beats hard against the ribs. It requires a soul full of the milk of human kindness. This is the sine qua non of success.
Charles Spurgeon
Christ is the great central fact in the world's history. To Him everything looks forward or backward. All the lines of history converge upon Him.
Charles Spurgeon
The Christian is the most contented man in the world, but he is the least contented with the world.
Charles Spurgeon
There is no attribute of God more comforting to His children than the doctrine of Divine Sovereignty. Under the most adverse circumstances, in the most severe troubles, they believe that Sovereignty hath ordained their afflictions, that Sovereignty overrules them, and that Sovereignty will sanctify them all.
Charles Spurgeon
When you desire to be most alive to God, you will generally find sin most alive to repel you.
Charles Spurgeon
A church that does not exist to reclaim heathenism, to fight evil, to destroy error, to put down falsehood, a church that does not exist to take the side of the poor, to denounce injustice and to hold up righteousness, is a church that has no right to be. Not for yourself, O church, do you exist, any more than Christ existed for Himself.
Charles Spurgeon
We may expect answers to prayer, and should not be easy without them any more than we should be if we had written a letter to a friend upon important business, and had received no reply.
Charles Spurgeon
All good is born in prayer, and all good springs from it.
Charles Spurgeon
The business of the believer with his Bible open is to pray, 'Lord, give me the meaning and spirit of your word, while it lies open before me apply your word with power to my soul, threatening or promise, doctrine or precept, whatever it may be lead me into the soul and marrow of your word.'
Charles Spurgeon
Believing right doctrine will no more save you, than doing good works will save you.
Charles Spurgeon
God could not have given this promise, except from love and grace therefore it is quite certain his Word will be fulfilled.
Charles Spurgeon
Salvation is all grace, which means, free, gratis, for nothing.
Charles Spurgeon
Love for God is obedience love for God is holiness. To love God and to love man is to be conformed to the image of Christ, and this is salvation.
Charles Spurgeon
You need not bring life to the scripture. You should draw life from the scripture.
Charles Spurgeon
You'll never be a winner of souls unless you're first a weeper for souls.
Charles Spurgeon
Let eloquence be flung to the dogs rather than souls be lost. What we want is to win souls. They are not won by flowery speeches.
Charles Spurgeon
God never punishes his children in the sense of avenging justice. He chastens as a father does his child, but he never punishes his redeemed as a judge does a criminal. It is unjust to exact punishment from redeemed souls since Christ has been punished in their place. How shall the Lord punish twice for one offense?
Charles Spurgeon
No man ever served God by doing things tomorrow.
Charles Spurgeon
