Charles Haddon (C.H.) Spurgeon (19 June 1834 – 31 January 1892) was a British Particular Baptist preacher. Spurgeon remains highly influential among Christians of different denominations, among whom he is known as the "Prince of Preachers". He was a strong figure in the Reformed Baptist tradition, defending the Church in agreement with the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith understanding, and opposing the liberal and pragmatic theological tendencies in the Church of his day.

(19 June 1834 - 31 January 1892

1. “There are no crown-wearers in heaven that were not cross-bearers here below.”

2. “When I hear of anybody losing his temper, I always pray that he may not find it again.  Such tempers are best lost.”

3. “Full assurance is not essential to salvation, but it is essential to satisfaction.  May you get it-may you get it at once.  May you never be satisfied to live without it.”

4. “The heart of Christ became like a reservoir in the midst of the mountains.  All the tributary streams of iniquity, and every drop of the sins of his people, ran down and gathered into one vast lake, deep as hell and shore less as eternity.  All these met, as it were, in Christ’s heart, and he endured them all.”

5. “I have no hope beneath the canopy of heaven, neither in time nor in eternity, save only in this belief-that Jesus Christ, in my place, bore both my punishment and sin.”

6. “The marvel of heaven and earth, of time and eternity, is the atoning death of Jesus Christ.  This is the mystery that brings more glory to God than all creation.”

7. “The Bible is a harbor where I can drop down my anchor, feeling certain that it will hold.  Here is a place where I can find sure footing; and, by the grace of God, from this confidence I shall never be moved.”

8. “Perhaps there is no book more neglected in these days than the Bible.  I believe there are moldier Bibles in this world than there are of any sort of neglected books.  We have no book that is so much bought, and then so speedily laid aside and so little used, as the Bible.”

9. “There may be some sins of which a man cannot speak, but there is no sin which the blood of Christ cannot wash away.”

10. “Plunge into the “fountain filled with blood, drawn from Immanuel’s veins,” and in an instant you are whiter than snow.  Every speck, spot, and stain of sin is gone, and gone forever.”

11. “Trust Christ and you shall live.  The bloody sacrifice of Calvary is the only hope of sinners.”

12. “Inbred corruption is the worst corruption.” 

13. “A child of God should be a visible beatitude for joy and happiness, and a living doxology for gratitude and adoration.”

14. “Be dogmatically true, obstinately holy, immovably honest, desperately kind, fixedly upright.”

15. “It does not spoil you happiness to confess your sin.  The unhappiness is in not making the confession.”

16. “He was a fool who killed the watchdog because it alarmed him when thieves were breaking into his house.  If conscience upbraids you, feel its rebuke.  It is your best friend.”

17. “You say, ‘If I had a little more, I should be very satisfied.’  You make a mistake.  If you are not content with what you have, you would not be satisfied if it were doubled.”

18. “A man’s contentment is in his mind, not in the extent of his possessions.”

19. “No scene in sacred history ever gladdens the soul like the scene on Calvary.  Nowhere does the soul find such consolation as on that very spot where misery reigned, where woe triumphed, where agony reached its climax.”

20. “Nothing provokes the devil like the cross.”
