"As long as a man is alive..." - Quote by Charles Spurgeon

“He is truly great in who hath power over himself.”

“Fiery trials make golden Christians.”

“I think you may judge of a man’s character by the persons whose affection he seeks. If you find a man seeking only the affection of those who are great, depend upon it he is ambitious and self-seeking; but when you observe that a man seeks the affection of those who can do nothing for him, but for whom he must do everything, you know that he is not seeking himself, but that pure benevolence sways his heart.”

“Happiness eludes us if we run after it.”

“There is no paycheck that can equal the feeling of contentment that comes from being the person you are meant to be.”

“Where is the peace in more is better? This idea keeps us exclusively in the physical domain. You can replace the more is better belief with an inner serenity that doesn't need more to be acceptable. There is no peace in more is better, and if it doesn't being peace to your life, then it's something you want to discard.”

“To all, I would say how mistaken they are when they think that they stop falling in love when they grow old, without knowing that they grow old when they stop falling in love...”

“Love is a simple thing and a deep thing: it is an act of life and not an illusion. Art is an illusion.”

“Being a politician makes your hair turn white.”
