Idle Quote by Charles Haddon Spurgeon

“We know that all things work. Look around you. All things work. Work is the opposite of idleness. The idle man folds his hands to rest. He slumbers on the bed of laziness. But he is an exception to God’s rule, because except for him all things work.” quote by Charles Haddon Spurgeon
