Famous Quotes & Sayings

Charles Spurgeon

Nobody can do as much damage to the church of God as the man who is within its walls, but not within its life.

Charles Spurgeon

But class hatred must lead to bad things. That is why President Obama is playing with fire with his attacks on the rich.

There was a discordant hum of human voices! There was a loud blast as of many trumpets! There was a harsh grating as of a thousand thunders! The fiery walls rushed back!
