We live much of life amid unique choices. Joy is anchored in The One beyond our life.
There are times when solitude is better than society, and silence is wiser than speech. We should be better Christians if we were more alone, waiting upon God, and gathering through meditation on His Word spiritual strength for labour in his service. We ought to muse upon the things of God, because we thus get the real nutriment out of them. . . . Why is it that some Christians, although they hear many sermons, make but slow advances in the divine life? Because they neglect their closets, and do not thoughtfully meditate on God's Word. They love the wheat, but they do not grind it; they would have the corn, but they will not go forth into the fields to gather it; the fruit hangs upon the tree, but they will not pluck it; the water flows at their feet, but they will not stoop to drink it. From such folly deliver us, O Lord. . . .
― Charles Spurgeon


Our anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strengths.
― C. H. Spurgeon


Hope itself is like a star- not to be seen in the sunshine of prosperity, and only to be discovered in the night of adversity.
― Charles Haddon Spurgeon


If sinners be damned, at least let them leap to Hell over our dead bodies. And if they perish, let them perish with our arms wrapped about their knees, imploring them to stay. If Hell must be filled, let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go unwarned and unprayed for.
― Charles Spurgeon


A Bible that’s falling apart usually belongs to someone who isn’t.
― Charles Spurgeon


Visit many good books, but live in the Bible.
― Charles Spurgeon


When your will is God's will, you will have your will.
― Charles Spurgeon

To meet a day in any fashion,
filled with rhymes and face, that's ashen.
We query him, whose rhyme is best
about his intake, and his rest.

"Hast, thou, this night been overweening
with many'a rhyme and spurious meaning?
Methinks thy bod would better serve ye,
filled with sleep, that won't unnerve ye.
"

"But look how many poems I have
more lasting than some drinker's deprave.
Wouldst thou, that I in dissipation
quick fall from my great lofty station?
"

"Nay, I would urge, thee, writer be,
but think thee well to best health see.
A po'm or two may thee write late,
but sleep, thee, well to tired abate.
"

"I thank, thee, sir, for care from thy heart,
that wisdom, now, doth quickly impart.
I'll binge me less, and rest me more
than last night I did rest before.
"

To meet a day in greater fashion
with better rhymes, and face less ashen,
write what thou canst, then take sleep.
Let snore be thy lone nasal peep.
