Quote

A man's contentment is in his mind, not in the extent of his possessions. Alexander the Great, with all the world at his feet, cries for another world to conquer.

More quotes by Charles Spurgeon

Image
The Law cuts into the core of the evil, it reveals the seat of the malady, and informs us that the leprosy lies deep within.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
To wash and dress a corpse is a far different thing from making it alive: Man can do the one--God alone can do the other.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is a terribly easy matter to be a minister of the gospel and a vile hypocrite at the same time.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A person who is really saved by Grace does not need to be told that he is under solemn obligations to serve Christ. The new life within him tells him that. Instead of regarding it as a burden, he gladly surrenders himself, body, soul, and spirit, to the Lord.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God writes with a pen that never blots, speaks with a tongue that never slips, acts with a hand that never fails
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You are engaged in a work so spiritual, so far above all human power, that to forget the Spirit is to ensure defeat.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is blessed to eat into the very soul of the Bible until the very essence of the Bible flows from you.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Do what you believe to be right, and ever hold it for a maxim, that if the skies fall through your doing right, honest men will survive the ruin.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Prayer is the forerunner of mercy. Turn to sacred history, and you will find that scarecely ever did a great mercy come to this world unheralded by supplication.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Sin and Hell are married unless repentance proclaims the divorce.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A man must have a stout digestion to feed upon some men's theology no sap, no sweetness, no life, but all stern accuracy, and fleshless definition. Proclaimed without tenderness, and argued without affection, the gospel from such men rather resembles a missile from a catapult than bread from a Father's hand.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Fiery trials make golden Christians.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Let me ask you, how many atheists are now in this house? Perhaps not a single one of you would accept the title, and yet, if you live from Monday morning to Saturday night in the same way as you would live if there were no God, you are practical atheists.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
He who is not angry at transgression becomes a partaker in it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
To-morrow even may bring the final reckoning.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Without Christ there is no hope.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The Word of God will be to you a bulwark and a high tower, a castle of defense against the foe. Oh, see to it that the Word of God is in you, in your very soul, permeating your thoughts, and so operating upon your outward life, that all may know you to be a true Bible-Christian, for they perceive it in your words and deeds.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I would to God that saints would cling to Christ half as earnestly as sinners cling to the devil. If we were as willing to suffer for God as some are to suffer for their lusts, what perseverance and zeal would be seen on all sides!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Hope sees a crown in reserve, mansions in readiness, and Jesus Himself preparing a place for us, and by the rapturous sight she sustains the soul under the sorrows of the hour.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If a crooked stick is before you, you need not explain how crooked it is. Lay a straight one down by the side of it, and the work is well done. Preach the truth, and error will stand abashed in its presence.
