If sinners be dammed, at least let them leap to Hell over our bodies. If they will perish, let them perish with our arms about their knees. Let no one go there unwarned and unprayed for.

Do You Find the Bible Boring? – Charles Sprugeon
True Bible-readers and Bible-searchers never find it wearisome. They like it least who know it least, and they love it most who read it most. They find it newest who have known it longest, and they find the pasture to be the richest whose souls have been the longest fed upon it. When one of our missionaries had to read a certain Book of the Old Testament through a hundred times while he was translating it, he said that he certainly enjoyed the hundredth time of reading it more than he did the first, for he understood it better, and it seemed to him to be fuller and fresher the more familiar he became with it.

Know How Men Are To Be Saved – Charles Spurgeon
For God’s sake, let us know how men are to be saved, and get to the work: to be forever deliberating as to the proper mode of making bread while a nation dies of famine is detestable trifling

What The Law Is To Do – Charles Spurgeon
The law is meant to lead the sinner to faith in Christ, by showing the impossibility of any other way. It is the black dog to fetch the sheep to the shepherd, the burning heat which drives the traveler to the shadow of the great rock in a weary land.

Young Men, Work for the Lord – Charles Spurgeon
Young men, work for the Lord while you can. It would greatly embitter my season of painful retirement if I could accuse myself with having wasted the time of my health and strength. When I can work, I pack a mass into small compass because I am so painfully aware that days and weeks may come wherein I cannot work.

from Letters of Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Daily Dependence – Charles Spurgeon
The glory that overflows to Christ from our daily dependence is seen in His becoming to us our daily bread. His flesh is meat indeed, his blood is drink indeed (John 6:55), and we must feed upon these continually or die. Eating is not an operation to be performed only once, but it is to be done, throughout life. Likewise, we have to go to Jesus again and again and find sustenance in him as long as life lasts.

from God Loves You, 26
How to Suffer Well – Charles Spurgeon
Suffering saints are living seed. Oh, that God might help us to such faith, that when we come to suffer in life, or to expire in death, we may so glorify God that others may believe in him! May we preach sermons by our faith which shall be better than sermons in words.

from his sermon The Trial Of Your Faith – December, 1888
Affliction & Hardship is Good – Charles Spurgeon
Affliction is the best bit of furniture in my house. It is the best book in a minister’s library.

Entire Manhood and Womanhood to Christ – Charles Spurgeon
Oh, Christian men and women, you will not glorify God much unless you really put your strength into the ways of the Lord, and throw your body, soul, and spirit – your entire manhood and womanhood – into the work of the Lord Jesus Christ.
