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.

On meditation, Spurgeon said:
“Great thoughts are blessed guests, and should be heartily welcomed, well fed and much sought after. Like rose leaves, they give out a sweet smell if laid up in the jar of memory.”
“To believe a thing is to see the cool crystal water sparkling in the cup. But to meditate on it is to drink of it. Reading gathers the clusters; contemplation squeezes forth their generous juice.”
On Miracles He said:
“All our Lord’s miracles were intended to be parables. They were intended to instruct as well as to impress. They are sermons to the eye, just as his spoken discourses were sermons to the ear.”
On Missions Spurgeon said:
“If there be any one point in which the Christian church ought to keep its fervor at a white heat, it is concerning missions. If there be anything about which we cannot tolerate lukewarmness, it is in the matter of sending the gospel to a dying world.”
“You will never make a missionary of the person who does no good at home. He that will not serve the Lord in the Sunday school at home will not win children to Christ in China.”
“Every Christian is either a missionary or an imposter.”
On Money Spurgeon said:
“One said to a minister who preached a sermon, after which there was to be a collection, “You should preach to our hearts, and then you would get some money.” The minister replied, “Yes, I think that is very likely, for that is where you keep your money.”
On Murmuring, Spurgeon said:
“The very word murmur, how simple it is, made up to two infantile sounds-mur mur. No sense in it, no wit in it, no thought in it. It is the cry rather of a brute than of a man. Murmur-just a double groan.”
“Ten minutes’ praying is better than a year’s murmuring.”
On Music, He said:
“Our singing should be such that God hears it with pleasure-singing in which there is not so much art as heart, not so much of musical sound as of spiritual emotion.”
“When your heart is full of Christ, you will want to sing.”
On Nature Spurgeon said
“The best of men are still men at their best.”
“I must confess that I have a daily fighting of my better self against the old self, the newborn nature against the old nature that will, if it can, still keep its hold upon me.”
On Omnipresence of God Spurgeon said:
“God is everywhere. His circumference is nowhere, but his center is everywhere.”
“I heard the story of a man, a blasphemer, profane, an atheist, who was converted singularly by a sinful action of his. He had written on a piece of paper, “God is nowhere,” and ordered his child to read it, for he would make him an atheist too. The child spelled it, “God is n-o-w h-e-r-e-God is now here.” It was a truth instead of a lie, and the arrow pierced the man’s own heart.”
On Omniscience of God, Spurgeon said:
“That part of my religion that no man can see should be as perfect as if it were to be observed by all.”
“Wherever you are in the room, a well-painted portrait will be looking at you. Such is God. Wherever you are, the eye of God will be on you-as much on you as if there was not another person in the whole world.”
