Charles Haddon Spurgeon

"A whetstone, though it cannot cut, may sharpen a knife that will."

"When your will is God's will, you will have your will."

"The Christian should work as if all depended upon him, and pray as if it all depended upon God."

"When you see a man with a great deal of religion displayed in his shop window, you may depend upon it he keeps a very small stock of it within."

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

"When your will is God's will, you will have your will."

"I take leave to contradict those who say that salvation is an evolution! All that ever can be evolved out of the sinful heart of man is sin-and nothing else! Salvation is the free gift of God, by Jesus Christ, and the work of it is supernatural. It is done by the Lord Himself, and He has power to do it, however weak, no, however dead in sin, the sinner may be!"

"The wide awake man seizes opportunities or makes them, and thus those who are widest awake usually come to the front."

"You will never glory in God till first of all God has killed your glorying in yourself."

"When you see no present advantage, walk by faith and not by sight. Do God the honor to trust Him when it comes to matters of loss for the sake of principle."

"Care more for a grain of faith than a ton of excitement."

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

"Hope itself is like a star- not to be seen in the sunshine of prosperity, and only to be discovered in the night of adversity."

"A sense of the divine presence and indwelling bears the soul towards heaven as upon the wings of eagles."
