More quotes by John Wesley
Employ whatever God has entrusted you with, in doing good, all possible good, in every possible kind and degree.
John Wesley
God's command to pray without ceasing is founded on the necessity we have of His grace to preserve the life of God in the soul, which can no more subsist one moment without it, than the body can without air.
John Wesley
Let it be observed, that slovenliness is no part of religion that neither this, nor any text of Scripture, condemns neatness of apparel. Certainly this is a duty, not a sin. Cleanliness is indeed next to godliness.
John Wesley
A meek spirit gives no trouble willingly to any: a quiet spirit bears all wrongs without being troubled.
John Wesley
Give me one hundred preachers who fear nothing but sin and desire nothing but God, and I care not whether they be clergymen or laymen, they alone will shake the gates of Hell and set up the kingdom of Heaven upon Earth.
John Wesley
Nothing short of God can satisfy your soul.
John Wesley
Do all the good you can, by all the means you can.
John Wesley
Though I am always in haste, I am never in a hurry.
John Wesley
I'd had the quintessential liberal arts experience, and I came out of college not having a clue of what to do.
John Wesley
The longer I live, the larger allowances I make for human infirmities. I exact more from myself and less from others.
John Wesley
Until my work on this earth is done, I am immortal. But when my work for Christ is done ... I go to be with Jesus
John Wesley
Whatever the natural cause, sin is the true cause of all earthquakes.
John Wesley
Beware, lastly, of imagining you shall obtain the end without using the means conducive to it.
John Wesley
The first priority of my life is to be holy, and the second goal of my life is to be a scholar.
John Wesley
Having, First, gained all you can, and, Secondly saved all you can, Then give all you can.
John Wesley
It is the Spirit that sheds the love of God abroad in their hearts, and the love of all mankind thereby purifying their hearts from the love of the world, from the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye, and the pride of life. It is by Him they are delivered from anger and pride, from all vile and inordinate affections.
John Wesley
The glories and the beauties of form, color and sound unite in the Grand Canyon - forms unrivaled even by the mountains, colors that vie with sunsets, and sounds that span the diapason from tempest to tinkling raindrop from cataract to bubbling fountain.
John Wesley
Bring me a worm that can comprehend a man, and then I will show you a man that can comprehend the Triune God.
John Wesley
It cannot be that the people should grow in grace unless they give themselves to reading. A reading people will always be a knowing people.
John Wesley
Is it not common to say to a child, 'Put your finger in that candle, can you bear it even for one minute?' How then will you bear Hell-fire? Surely it would be torment enough to have the flesh burnt off from only one finger what then will it be to have the whole body plunged into a lake of fire, burning with brimstone?
John Wesley
