Charles Spurgeon Quotes

Ceremonies are no aid to blessedness.

Fullness of joy is discovered only in the emptying of will.

If we have not developed a reservoir of spiritual wealth, no amount of money is likely to make us happy. Spiritual wealth provides faith. It gives us love. It brings and expands wisdom. Spiritual wealth leads to happiness because it guides us into useful or loving relationships.

There is but one way to tranquility of mind and happiness, and that is to account no external things thine own, but to commit all to God.

You mustn’t wish for another life. You mustn’t want to be somebody else. What you must do is this: “Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks.” I am not all the way capable of so much, but those are the right instructions.

Be humble and you will never be disturbed. It is very difficult in practice because we all want to see the result of our work. Leave it to Jesus.

In the end, the number of prayers we say may contribute to our happiness, but the number of prayers we answer may be of even greater importance.

A grateful heart is a beginning of greatness. It is an expression of humility. It is a foundation for the development of such virtues as prayer, faith, courage, contentment, happiness, love, and well-being.

Pray till prayer makes you forget your own wish, and leave it or merge it in God's will.

Religious people are happier.

Spirituality does two things for you. One, you are forced to become more selfless, two, you trust to providence. The opposite of a spiritual man is a materialist. If I was a materialist I would be making lots of money doing endorsements, doing cricket commentary. I have no interest in that.

Materialism is the only form of distraction from true bliss.

Money can come and go, and fame comes and goes. Peace of mind and a relationship with God is far more important, so this is the precedent that we've set in our lives. The bottom line is, we all die, so Jesus is the answer.

I knew everything and received everything. But real happiness, is giving.

Success is just being happy. And I try so many different things. I do a lot of different things. Because I think God has helped me to love myself. I know who God is, and I love God.

He who has learned to pray has learned the greatest secret of a holy and happy life.

I'm a believer that the more I'm giving, the happier I am, and the more beautiful my exterior will be.

An ounce of cheerfulness is worth a pound of sadness to serve God with.

My dream is to live a good life and be loving, be close to God and be a good human being and bring peace to people.

I just find myself happy with the simple things. Appreciating the blessings God gave me.

Blessedness is not the reward of virtue but virtue itself.

The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be.

My mantra is: Let there be happiness in my soul, and let me share it with the world.

Happiness is a mystery, like religion, and should never be rationalised.

Christians might say that you can't live a more meaningful life without Jesus. Well, that's absolutely not true. You can. You can enjoy a sunrise whether you know Jesus or not.
