Charles Spurgeon Quotes

Riches cover a multitude of woes.

Wealth is the smallest thing on earth, the least gift that God has bestowed on mankind.

No matter how many possessions we acquire, they will not provide us with any lasting happiness and freedom. On the contrary, it is often our pursuit of material possessions that causes our problems.

Wealth hath never given happiness, but often hastened misery.

To the degree we can live without the things of this world, we are wealthy.
