google recognizes c.h. spurgeon
I went to Google.com today and saw that they had an image of one of the greatest preachers in modern times - C. H. Spurgeon. Ok, not really. It's Pavarotti. But with a little Photoshopping, I can get pretty creative.
Here's some quotes from Pavarotti, er, I mean Spurgeon:
- The greatest enemy to human souls is the self-righteous spirit which makes men look to themselves for salvation.
- The Lord gets his best soldiers out of the highlands of affliction.
- There is enough dust on some of your Bible's to write "damnation" with your fingers.
- Trials teach us what we are; they dig up the soil, and let us see what we are made of.
- A good character is the best tombstone. Those who loved you and were helped by you will remember you when forget-me-nots have withered. Carve your name on hearts, not on marble.
- A sinner can no more repent and believe without the Holy Spirit's aid than he can create a world.
- A vigorous temper is not altogether an evil. Men who are easy as an old shoe are generally of little worth.
- Anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strength.
- Beware of no man more than of yourself; we carry our worst enemies within us.
- By perseverance the snail reached the ark.
- Free will carried many a soul to hell, but never a soul to heaven.
- Giving is true having.
- Humility is to make a right estimate of one's self.

Bravo! All of these are great.
But, didn't he also say,
"Yoo musta singa froma yer diaphragma!"
Maybe I'm getting him confused with someone else? ;-)
