When Poetry thus keeps its place as the handmaiden of piety, it shall attain not a poor perishable wreath, but a crown that fadeth not away.
John Wesley
Image
Beware you be not swallowed up in books! An ounce of love is worth a pound of knowledge.
John Wesley
Image
The best helps to growth in grace are the ill usage, the affronts, and the losses which befall us. We should receive them with all thankfulness, as preferable to all others, were it only on this account, that our will has no part therein.
John Wesley
Image
The man who never fasts is no more in the way to heaven than the man who never prays.
John Wesley

I am never in a hurry, because I never undertake more work than I can go through with perfect calmness of spirit.

The case is this: God offers you one of the greatest mercies on this side of heaven and commands you to accept it. Why do you not accept this mercy in obedience to His command.... God offers you a pardon for all your sins.

Do all the good you can, by all the means you can.

Every one, though born of God in an instant, yet undoubtedly grows by slow degrees.
John Wesley
Image
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
Image
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
Image
All outward means of grace, if separate from the spirit of God, cannot profit, or conduce, in any degree, either to the knowledge or love of God. All outward things, unless he work in them and by them, are in vain.
John Wesley
Image
You have one business on earth – to save souls.
John Wesley
