Image
The saloon is a liar. It promises good cheer and sends sorrow. It promises prosperity and sends adversity. It promises happiness and sends misery.... It is God's worst enemy and the devil's best friend.

Billy Sunday

Billy Sunday
Image
Conversion is a complete surrender to Jesus. It's a willingness to do what he wants you to do.
Billy Sunday
Image
The Bible will always be full of things you cannot understand, as long as you will not live according to those you can understand.
Billy Sunday
Image
The rivers of America will run with blood filled to their banks before we will submit to them taking the Bible out of our schools.
Billy Sunday
Image
After all is said that can be said upon the liquor traffic, its influence is degrading upon the individual, the family, politics and business, and upon everything that you touch in this old world.

There is nothing in the world of art like the songs mother used to sing.

It is not necessary to be in a big place to do big things.

I want to preach the gospel so plainly that men can come from the factories and not have to bring along a dictionary.

Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than going to a garage makes you an automobile.

Some persons think they have to look like a hedgehog to be pious.

Religion needs a baptism of horse sense.
