Charles Spurgeon"Do not wade far out into the dangerous sea of this worlds comfort. Take the good that God provides you, but say of it, "It passeth away;" for, indeed, it is but a temporary supply for a temporary need. Never suffer your goods to become your God."
Charles Haddon Spurgeon was an English Particular Baptist preacher. Spurgeon remains highly influential among Christians of various denominations, to some of whom he is known as the "Prince of Preachers." He was a strong figure in the Baptist tradition, defending the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith, and opposing the liberal and pragmatic theological tendencies in the Church of his day.

"A vigorous temper is not always an evil. Men who are as easy as an old shoe are generally of as little worth."
"A man who does nothing never has time to do anything."
"It needs more skill than I can tell To play the second fiddle well."
"When mens hearts are melted under the preaching of the word, or by sickness, or the loss of friends, believers should be very eager to stamp the truth upon the prepared mind. Such opportunities are to be seized with holy eagerness."
"I would not have you exchange the gold of individual Christianity for the base metal of Christian Socialism."
