Quotes from Charles Spurgeon

A child's cry touches a father's heart.

Trust in the person's promise who dares to refuse what they fear they cannot perform.

It is well for us that, amidst all the variableness of life, there is One whom change cannot affect; One whose heart can never alter, and on whose brow mutability can make no furrows.

The Christian life is very much like climbing a hill of ice. You cannot slide up. You have to cut every step with an ice axe. Only with incessant labor in cutting and chipping can you make any progress. If you want to know how to backslide, leave off going forward. Cease going upward and you will go downward of necessity. You can never stand still.

O What A Freedom Is Thine! Freedom from Condemnation. Freedom to the Promises, Freedom to the Throne of Grace, and at last Freedom to Enter Heaven!

There is hardship in everything except eating pancakes.

Our hope in Christ for the future is the mainspring and the mainstay of our joy down here today.
