Home is the place we love best and grumble the most.
Billy Sunday
Image
Jesus gave his life on the cross for any who will believe. We're not redeemed by silver or gold. Jesus paid for it with his blood.
Billy Sunday
Image
It is not what you have on you, but what you have in you.
Billy Sunday
Image
One reason sin flourishes is that it is treated like a cream puff instead of a rattlesnake.
Billy Sunday
Image
Enthusiasm is as good a thing in the Church as fire is in a cook stove.
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.
Billy Sunday

When is a revival needed? When carelessness and unconcern keep the people asleep.
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!

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 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 world is wrong side up. It needs to be turned upside down in order to be right side up.
Billy Sunday
Image
Churches don't need new members half so much as they need the old bunch made over.
Billy Sunday
Image
The reason you don't like the Bible, you old sinner, is because it knows all about you.
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 fellow that has no money is poor. The fellow that has nothing but money is poorer still.
Billy Sunday
Image
If you are a stranger to prayer, you are a stranger to the greatest source of power known to human beings.
Billy Sunday
Image
If you don't do your part, don't blame God.
Billy Sunday
Image
The trouble with many men is that they have got just enough religion to make them miserable. If there is not joy in religion, you have got a leak in your religion.
Billy Sunday

Being a king, emperor, or president is mighty small potatoes compared to being a mother.
