More quotes by John Wesley
Unless God has raised you up for this very thing, you will be worn out by the opposition of men and devils. But if God be for you, who can be against you? Are all of them together stronger than God? O be not weary of well doing!
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
Vice does not lose its character by becoming fashionable.
John Wesley
This earthly body is slow and heavy in all its motions, listless and soon tired with action. But our heavenly bodies shall be as fire as active and as nimble as our thoughts are.
John Wesley
Humility and patience are the surest proofs of the increase of love.
John Wesley
[When I die] if I leave behind me ten pounds...you and all mankind [may] bear witness against me, that I have lived and died a thief and a robber.
John Wesley
Every one, though born of God in an instant, yet undoubtedly grows by slow degrees.
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
Wine, one of the noblest cordials in nature.
John Wesley
I am never in a hurry, because I never undertake more work than I can go through with perfect calmness of spirit.
John Wesley
Always remember the essence of Christian holiness is simplicity and purity: one design, one desire: entire devotion to God.
John Wesley
Though we cannot think alike, may we not love alike? May we not be of one heart, though we are not of one opinion? Without all doubt, we may. Herein all the children of God may unite, notwithstanding these smaller differences.
John Wesley
Beware, lastly, of imagining you shall obtain the end without using the means conducive to it.
John Wesley
You have nothing to do but to save souls. Therefore spend and be spent in this work. And go not only to those that need you, but to those that need you most. It is not your business to preach so many times, and to take care of this or that society but to save as many souls as you can to bring as many sinners as you possibly can to repentance.
John Wesley
Nothing short of God can satisfy your soul.
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
The wicked will gnaw their tongues for anguish and pain they will curse God and look upwards. There the dogs of hell, pride, malice, revenge, rage, horror, despair, continually devout them.
John Wesley
The wearing of costly array is directly opposite to being adorned with good works. Nothing can be more evident than this for the more you lay out on your own apparel, the less you have left to clothe the naked, to feed the hungry, to lodge the stranger, to relieve those that are sick and in prison.
John Wesley
As to matters of dress, I would recommend one never to be first in the fashion nor the last out of it.
John Wesley
Having, First, gained all you can, and, Secondly saved all you can, Then give all you can.
John Wesley
