Charles Spurgeon Quotes

I don't take myself seriously, because there is so much more to life than just being good looking.

A humble person is not one who thinks little of himself, hangs his head and says, "I'm nothing." Rather, he is one who depends wholly on the Lord for everything, in every circumstance.

Humility is to make a right estimate of oneself. It is no humility for a man to think less of himself than he ought.

True humility is not an abject, groveling, self-despising spirit; it is but a right estimate of ourselves as God sees us.

My work is more important than I am. I'm just some guy.

If I tell you I'm good, probably you will say I'm boasting. But if I tell you I'm not good, you'll know I'm lying.

One that does not think to highly of himself is more than he thinks.

Few people are modest enough to be estimated at their true worth.

You are not mature if you have a high esteem of yourself. He who boasts in himself is but a babe in Christ, if indeed he be in Christ at all. Young Christians may think much of themselves. Growing Christians think themselves nothing. Mature Christians know that they are less than nothing. The more holy we are, the more we mourn our infirmities, and the humbler is our estimate of ourselves.

You have to think you're the greatest thing since sliced bread, but you have to know that you're not.

A man's worth is what he is divided by what he thinks he is.

Man believes himself always greater than he is, and is esteemed less than he is worth.

Do I think well of myself, think myself a nice chap? WEll, I am afraid I sometimes do (and those are, no doubt, my worst moments).

The higher a man is in grace, the lower he will be in his own esteem.
