Quotes from Charles Spurgeon

Nothing reflects so much honor on a workman as a trial of his work and its endurance of it. So it is with God. It honors Him when His saints preserve their integrity.

'You are no saint,' says the devil. Well, if I am not, I am a sinner, and Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners. Sink or swim, I go to Him; other hope, I have none.

Nothing but grace makes a man so humble and, at the same time, so glad.

Faith obliterates time, annihilates distance, and brings future things at once into its possession.

Rest time is not waste time. It is economy to gather fresh strength... It is wisdom to take occasional furlough. In the long run, we shall do more by sometimes doing less.

Faith goes up the stairs that love has built and looks out the windows which hope has opened.

The seasons change and you change, but the Lord abides evermore the same, and the streams of His love are as deep, as broad and as full as ever.

His eyes never slumber, and His hands never rest; His heart never ceases to beat with love, and His shoulders are never weary of carrying His people's burdens.

Let gratitude be awakened; let humility be deepened; let love be quickened.

Ah, Lord Jesus! I never knew Your love till I understood the meaning of Your death.

When the time comes for you to die, you need not be afraid, because death cannot separate you from God's love.

A man will speedily sit down and sympathize with a friend's griefs, but if he sees him honored and esteemed, he is apt to regard him as a rival and does not so readily rejoice with him. This ought not to be; without effort, we ought to be happy in our brother's happiness.
