Quotes by Pastor Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834 - 1892)

"A little boy asked his mother which of the characters in Pilgrim's Progress she liked best. She replied, 'Christian, of course. She's the hero of the whole story.' I don't, mother. I like Christiana best. For when Christian went on his pilgrimage he went alone. But when Christiana went she brought the children with her.'" - Spurgeon's Sermon Notes

Prayer will make a man cease from sin, or sin will make a man cease from prayer."

"How I now loved those words that spake of a Christian's calling! As when the Lord said to one, 'Follow me'; and to another, 'Come after me.' Oh! Thought I, that he would say to me. How gladly would I run after him! I could seldom read of any that Christ did call, but I presently wished, 'Would I had been in their clothes! Would I had been born Peter or John! I often thought, 'Would I have heard him when he called them, would I have cried, 'O Lord, call me also!' But I feared he would not call me."

"He that mourns not now while the door of mercy is open, must mourn for sin when the door for mercy is shut."
