Image
I want to preach the gospel so plainly that men can come from the factories and not have to bring along a dictionary.
Billy Sunday
Image
If you are strangers to prayer you are strangers to power.
Billy Sunday
Image
You can't raise the standard of women's morals by raising their pay envelope. It lies deeper than that.
Billy Sunday
Image
A revival does two things. First, it returns the Church from her backsliding and second, it causes the conversion of men and women and it always includes the conviction of sin on the part of the Church. What a spell the devil seems to cast over the Church today!
Billy Sunday
Image
The fellow that has no money is poor. The fellow that has nothing but money is poorer still.
Billy Sunday
Image
Some ministers say, 'If you don't repent you'll die and go to a place the name of which I can't pronounce.' I can! You'll go to hell!

I tell you that the curse of God Almighty is on the saloon.
Billy Sunday
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
Image
The man who votes for the saloon is pulling on the same rope with the devil, whether he knows it or not.
Billy Sunday
Image
Being a king, emperor, or president is mighty small potatoes compared to being a mother.

Trying to run a church without revivals can be done when you can run a gasoline engine on buttermilk.
Billy Sunday
Image
The backslider likes the preaching that wouldn't hit the side of a house, while the real disciple is delighted when the truth brings him to his knees.
Billy Sunday
Image
At Kansas City, Kansas, before the saloons were closed, they were getting ready to build an addition to the jail. Now the doors swing idly on the hinges and there is nobody to lock in the jails.
Billy Sunday
Image
The reason you don't like the Bible, you old sinner, is because it knows all about you.
Billy Sunday
Image
When the English language gets in my way, I walk over it.
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
God Almighty never intended that the devil should triumph over the Church. He never intended that the saloons should walk rough-shod over Christianity.
Billy Sunday
Image
Hypocrites in the Church? Yes, and in the lodge and at the home. Don't hunt through the Church for a hypocrite. Go home and look in the mirror. Hypocrites? Yes. See that you make the number one less.
Billy Sunday
Image
The church is not a dormitory for sleepers, it is an institution for workers it is not a rest camp, it is a front line trench.
Billy Sunday

The Bible will always be full of things you cannot understand, as long as you will not live according to those you can understand.
