The Good News Network Quote Of The Day from Charles Spurgeon, July 31, 2021

“There are times when solitude is better than society, and silence is wiser than speech.”

https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/category/quote-of-the-day/

This quote is certainly a sentiment that I've held for much of my life. I have no idea where I first
developed it but here it is.

Here's some information about Charles Spurgeon:

'Charles Haddon Spurgeon (19 June 1834–31 January 1892) was an English Particular Baptist preacher. Spurgeon remains highly influential among Christians of various denominations, among whom he is known as the "Prince of Preachers".'

He's identified as being opposed to slavery and there's much more text and photos at this link:
