A brother's sympathy is more precious than an angel's embassy.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon Quote #3
A child's cry touches a father's heart, and our King is the Father of his people. If we can do no more than cry it will bring omnipotence to our aid. A cry is the native language of a spiritually needy soul; it has done with fine phrases and long orations, and it takes to sobs and moans; and so, indeed, it grasps the most potent of all weapons, for heaven always yields to such artillery.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon Quote #7
A sense of the divine presence and indwelling bears the soul towards heaven as upon the wings of eagles.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon Quote #8

Charles Haddon Spurgeon Quote #9

Charles Haddon Spurgeon Quote #10
A whetstone, though it cannot cut, may sharpen a knife that will.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon Quote #11
All ministries, therefore, must be subjected to this test—if they do not glorify Christ, they are not of the Holy Spirit.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon Quote #12
All providences are doors to trial. Men may be drowned in seas of prosperity as well as in rivers of affliction.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon Quote #13
All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant.] The original Hebrew word that has been translated paths means well-worn roads' or wheel tracks, such ruts as wagons make when they go down our green roads in wet weather and sink in up to the axles. God's ways are at times like heavy wagon tracks that cut deep into our souls, yet all of them are merciful.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon Quote #14

Charles Haddon Spurgeon Quote #15
Although upon doctrines of grace our views differ from those avowed by Arminian Methodists, we have usually found that on the great evangelical truths we are in full agreement, and we have been comforted by the belief that Wesleyans were solid upon the central doctrines.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon Quote #16
Are you placed where others are sitting down idly, doing nothing? Rise to the work with all your powers; and when the sweat stands upon your brow, and you are tempted to loiter, cry, No, I cannot stop, for I am Christ's. If I were not purchased by blood, I might be like Issachar, crouching between two burdens; but I am Christ's, and cannot loiter.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon Quote #17
As artists give themselves to their models, and poets to their classical pursuits, so must we addict ourselves to prayer.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon Quote #18
As the sun rises first on mountain-tops and gilds them with his light, and presents one of the most charming sights to the eye of the traveller; so is it one of the most delightful contemplations in the world to mark the glow of the Spirit's light on the head of some saint, who has risen up in spiritual stature.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon Quote #19
Backward we are naturally to all good things, and it is a lesson of grace to learn to go forward in the ways of God.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon Quote #20

Be wise and attend to obeying. Let Christ manage the providing.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon Quote #22
Because their example is powerful, they're somewhat responsible for the weaklings who copy them.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon Quote #23
Better abolish pulpits then to appoint men who have no experiential knowledge of what they teach.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon Quote #24
Blessed be His name that He has arranged that one Person of the Sacred Trinity should undertake this office of Comforter, for no man could ever perform its duties. We might as well hope to be the Savior as to be the Comforter of the heartbroken!
Charles Haddon Spurgeon Quote #25
Bread is a second cause; the LORD Himself is the first source of our sustenance. He can work without the second cause as well as with it; and we must not tie Him down to one mode of operation. Let us not be too eager after the visible, but let us look to the invisible God.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon Quote #30
Christ is all in the entire work of salvation. Let me just take you back to the period before this world was made. There was a time when this great world, the sun, the moon, the stars, and all which now exist throughout the whole of the vast universe, lay in the mind of God, like unborn forests in an acorn cup. There was a time when the Great Creator lived alone, and yet he could foresee that he would make a world, and that men would be born to people it; and in that vast eternity a great scheme was devised, whereby he might save a fallen race. Do you know who devised it? God planned it from first to last. Neither Gabriel nor any of the holy angels had anything to do with it. I question whether they were even told how God might be just, and yet save the transgressors. God was all in the drawing up of the scheme, and Christ was all in carrying it out. There was a dark and doleful night! Jesus was in the garden, sweating great drops of blood, which fell to the ground; nobody then came to bear the load that had been laid upon him. An angel stood there to strengthen him, but not to bear the sentence. The cup was put into his hands, and Jesus said, Father, must I drink it? and his Father replied, If thou dost not drink, sinners cannot be saved; and he took the cup and drained it to its very dregs. No man helped him. And when he hung upon that accursed tree of Calvary, when his precious hands were pierced, when: From his head, his hands, his feet, Sorrow and love flowed mingled down, there was nobody to help him. He was all in the work of salvation. And, my friends, if any of you shall be saved, it must be by Christ alone. There must be no patchwork; Christ did it all, and will not be helped in the matter. Christ will not allow you, as some say, to do what you can, and leave him to make up the rest. What can you do that is not sinful? Christ has done all for us; the work of redemption is all finished. Christ planned it all, and worked out all; and we, therefore, preach a full salvation through Jesus Christ.
