Quote

He who boasts of being perfect is perfect in folly. I never saw a perfect man. Every rose has its thorns, and every day its night. Even the sun shows spots, and the skies are darkened with clouds and faults of some kind nestle in every bosom.

More quotes by Charles Spurgeon

Morality is a neat cover for foul venom, but it does not alter the fact that the heart is vile, and the man himself is under damnation. Men will be damned with good works as well as without them, if they make them their confidence (rather than Jesus Christ).
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I would rather teach one man to pray than ten men to preach.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If I am not today all that I hope to be, yet I see Jesus, and that assures me that I shall one day be like Him.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If you hear a man rail at the Bible, you can usually conclude that he never reads it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Song of God and Son of Man, there He hangs, bearing pains unutterable, the just for the unjust, to bring us to God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There are some things that can be learned by the head, but Christ crucified can only be learned by the heart
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I know of no better thermometer to your spiritual temperature than this, the measure of the intensity of your prayer.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
O What A Freedom Is Thine! Freedom from Condemnation. Freedom to the Promises, Freedom to the Throne of Grace, and at last Freedom to Enter Heaven!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
...never go to look on man till you have first looked on your God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If you wish to know God, you must know his Word. If you wish to perceive His power, you must see how He works by his Word. If you wish to know His purpose before it comes to pass, you can only discover it by His Word.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We must trust as if it all depended on God and work as if it all depended on us
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
Christ also takes from us all inclination or power to boast of our national prestige. To me, it is prestige enough to be a Christian--to bear the cross Christ gives me to carry and to follow in the footsteps of the great Crossbearer.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Trust in God alone, and lean not on the needs of human help. Be not surprised when friends fail you it is a failing world. Never reckon upon immutability in man: inconstancy you may reckon upon without fear of disappointment.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You'll never be a winner of souls unless you're first a weeper for souls.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There is nothing that will keep a person from Christ like a good opinion of himself.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The Puritans were accustomed to explain faith by the word 'recumbency.' It meant leaning upon a thing. Lean with all your weight upon Christ. It would be a better illustration still if I said, fall at full length, and lie on the Rock of Ages.

Image
Every hour of every day, God is richly blessing us both when we sleep and when we wake His mercy waits upon us.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The vendors of flowers in the streets of London are wont to commend them to customers by crying: All a blowing and a growing. It would be no small praise to Christians if we could say as much for them.

He that is never on his knees on earth shall never stand upon his feet in heaven
