Quotes by Pastor Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834 - 1892)
"Sages of old contended that there was no sin ever committed whose consequences rested on the head of the sinner alone. They illustrated it thus: 'A vessel, sailing from Joppa, carried a passenger, who, beneath his berth, cut a hole through the ship's side. When men of the watch expostulated with him, saying, 'What doest thou, O miserable man?' The offender calmly replied, 'What matters it to you? The hole I have made lies under my own berth.' This ancient parable is worthy of the utmost consideration. No man perishes alone in his iniquity; no man can guess the full consequences of his transgression." (Source: Spurgeon's Sermon Notes)
