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
Nobody ever outgrows Scripture the book widens and deepens with our years.
Charles Spurgeon
If you are saved, the work is only half done until you are employed to bring others to Christ.
Charles Spurgeon
Wisdom is the right use of knowledge.
Charles Spurgeon
If I knew I had 25 years left to live, I would spend 20 of them in preparation.
Charles Spurgeon
Sorrow for sin should be the keenest sorrow joy in the Lord should be the loftiest joy.
Charles Spurgeon
The highest honor that God can confer upon his children is the blood-red crown of martyrdom. The jewels of a Christian are his afflictions. The regalia of the kings that God has made, are their troubles, their sorrows, and their griefs. Griefs exalt us, and troubles lift us.
Charles Spurgeon
And I will go as far as Martin Luther, in that strong assertion of his, where he says, If any man ascribes any of salvation, even the very least, to the free-will of man, he knows nothing of grace, and he has not learned Jesus Christ aright.
Charles Spurgeon
Many books in my library are now behind and beneath me. They were good in their way once, and so were the clothes I wore when I was ten years old but I have outgrown them. Nobody ever outgrows Scripture the book widens and deepens with our years.
Charles Spurgeon
Stand still - keep the posture of an upright man, ready for action, expecting further orders, cheerfully and patiently awaiting the directing voice and it will not be long ere God shall say to you, as distinctly as Moses said it to the people of Israel, Go forward.
Charles Spurgeon
No man can put on the robes of Christ’s righteousness till he has taken off his own.
Charles Spurgeon
It is not a matter of time so much as a matter of heart if you have the heart to pray, you will find the time.
Charles Spurgeon
Amusement should be used to do us good “like a medicine”: it must never be used as the food of the man...Many have had all holy thoughts and gracious resolutions stamped out by perpetual trifling. Pleasure so called is the murderer of thought. This is the age of excessive amusement: everybody craves for it, like a babe for its rattle.
Charles Spurgeon
Thus there will be three effects of nearness to Jesus humility, happiness, and holiness.
Charles Spurgeon
Show me 12 drunkards and I will show you 12 nagging wives.
Charles Spurgeon
If I had never joined a church till I had found one that was perfect, I should never have joined one at all.
Charles Spurgeon
It is a reading age, a preaching age, a working age, but it is not a praying age.
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
Men will allow God to be everywhere except on his Throne
Charles Spurgeon
If Christ be anything he must be everything. O rest not till love and faith in Jesus be the master passions of your soul!
Charles Spurgeon
When it is the Lord’s work in which we rejoice, we need not be afraid of being too glad.
Charles Spurgeon
