“Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom.”

English Particular Baptist preacher

Charles Haddon Spurgeon was an English Particular Baptist preacher. He became one of the most influential Christian voices of the 19th century, and is still known in some circles as the "Prince of Preachers." He was a strong figure in the Baptist tradition, and defended the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith. He also opposed the liberal and pragmatic theological trends that were taking hold in the church in his day.
