"I am certain that the safest way..." - Quote by Charles Spurgeon

“I think that is a better thing than thanksgiving: thanks-living. How is this to be done?

“The Master knows better than to exhaust His servants and quench the light of Israel. Rest time is not waste time. It is economy to gather fresh strength.”

“The thorny pointOf bare distress hath ta'en from me the showOf smooth civility; yet am I inland bredAnd know some nurture.”

“Character, in great and little things, means carrying through what you feel able to do.”

“What you do speaks so loud that I cannot hear what you say.”

“The two most important things in any company do not appear in its balance sheet: its reputation and its people.”

“You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do.”

“The nearest way to glory a shortcut, as it were is to strive to be what you wish to be thought to be.”
