Quote by Charles Spurgeon

“Jesus! it is the name which moves the harps of heaven to melody. Jesus! the life of all our joys. If there be one name more charming, more precious than another, it is this name. It is woven into the very warp and woof of our psalmody. Many of our hymns begin with it, and scarcely any, that are good for anything, end without it. It is the sum total of all delights. It is the music with which the bells of heaven ring; a song in a word; an ocean for comprehension, although a drop for brevity; a matchless oratorio in two syllables; a gathering up of the hallelujahs of eternity in five letters.”

Quote by Charles Spurgeon

Work

Morning and Evening

The title Morning and Evening suggests a structure or thematic concern with binary oppositions and daily rhythms. In literary and philosophical traditions, the pairing of morning and evening frequently serves as a metaphor for the span of human life, with morning representing youth, beginnings, and potential, while evening signifies maturity, endings, and reflection. The work may explore how human consciousness experiences and interprets these temporal divisions, or it may use the framework of a single day to examine broader existential questions. Without more specific identifying information, the content remains open to interpretation, though the title itself invokes the universal experience of diurnal cycles and the cultural meanings attached to different times of day across various societies and historical periods. more

“Aesthetic racism is almost always a sign of inexperience. Those who have not made their way far enough into the world of amorous delights judge women only by what can be seen. But those who really know women understand that the eye reveals only a minute fraction of what a woman can offer us. When God bade mankind be fruitful and multiply, Doctor, He was thinking of the ugly as well as of the beautiful. I am convinced I might add, that the aesthetic criterion does not come from God but from the devil. In paradise no distinction was made between ugliness and beauty.”

“A sentimentalist is one who delights to have high and devout emotions stirred whilst reading in an arm-chair, or in a prayer meeting, but he never translates his emotions into action. Consequently a sentimentalist is usually callous, self-centred and selfish, because the emotions he likes to have stirred do not cost him anything.”
