“Soul-winning is the chief business of the Christian minister; it should be the main pursuit of every true believer.”

About Charles Spurgeon

1834 – 1892

English Baptist preacher and compiler of "The Salt-Cellars".

“By perseverance the snail reached the ark.”

“The practice of truth is the most profitable reading of it.”

“Holiness is the architectural plan upon which God buildeth up His living temple.”

“The unexamined life is not worth living.”

“It is unlikely that the good of a snail should reside in its shell: so is it likely that the good of a man should?”

“In theory there is nothing to hinder our following what we are taught; but in life there are many things to draw us aside.”

“If to do were as easy as to know what were good to do, chapels had been churches, and poor men's cottages princes' palaces.”

“That which makes the man no worse than he was makes his life no worse: it has no power to harm, without or within.”

“Always take the short cut; and that is the rational one. Therefore say and do everything according to soundest reason.”
