John Wesley

Earn all you can, save all you can, give all you can.

Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can.

I look upon all the world as my parish.

When I have money, I get rid of it quickly, lest it find a way into my heart.

Beware you be not swallowed up in books! An ounce of love is worth a pound of knowledge.

I am a creature of a day, passing through life as an arrow through the air.

The Bible knows nothing of solitary religion.

Catch on fire with enthusiasm and people will come for miles to watch you burn.

I conceive slavery to be such a thing as is odious to the God of love.

Women's preaching is flatly contrary to the Bible.

The rich, the honourable, the great, will hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Diseases are the instruments of God to punish men for their sins.

I was much disgusted at the way in which the people sing here. They bawl as loud as they can, but it is without any taste or judgment. They have no notion of singing in tune, or time, or harmony; but only of making a great noise, which is still more disagreeable because it is generally a dull, heavy, stupid sound.

I am not afraid of giving too much trouble to God. He is able to bear it.

Beware of that smooth, plausible, pleasing voice, 'You may be saved, though you keep your sins.'

I have been as much as possible upon the stretch for 70 years, and I bless God, I am not tired yet.

I have no doubt that God will save all who are sincere, whether they believe in Christ or not.

I would as soon believe that the sun would stand still, as that a Christian could fall from grace and be lost.

Give me one hundred men who fear nothing but God, hate nothing but sin, and are determined to know nothing among men but Jesus Christ, and I will shake the gates of hell.

I do not love to dispute about religion. I had rather feel it.
