C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

By C.H. Spurgeon

FRIENDS, BAD

Besides, bad company does a man real harm, for, as the old proverb has it, if you lie down with dogs you will get up with fleas. PP103 People whom we esteem, but whom the Lord does not esteem, are a great snare. It is very perilous to love those who love not God. He shall not be my bosom friend who is not God’s friend, for I shall probably do him but little service, and he will do me much harm. 1526.153 So, you who wish to have an exemplary character before God and before men, remember that, if ill company does not burn you to your hurt, it is sure to blacken you by damaging your reputation. 3079.78
