"A clerical sycophant is only fit to be a scullion in the devil's kitchen."
(Charles H. Spurgeon, commenting on Psalm 2:10, in The Treasury of David, I.18)
"Heavenly Father, may I, as clergy, not be guilty of trying to curry favor from others. Deliver us from flattery and fawning before famous people in order to procure personal pleasantries. Please spare me from stooping to such a slavish spot in Satan's kitchen."
