More quotes by John Wesley
Beware you be not swallowed up in books! An ounce of love is worth a pound of knowledge.
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
October 6, 1774 I met those of our society who had votes in the ensuing election, and advised them 1. To vote, without fee or reward, for the person they judged most worthy 2. To speak no evil of the person they voted against, and 3. To take care their spirits were not sharpened against those that voted on the other side.
John Wesley
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

John Wesley
Lord, is it not Thy word, if any man lack wisdom, let him ask of God? Thou givest liberally, and upbraidest not. Thou hast said, if any be willing to do Thy will, he shall know. I am willing to do, let me know Thy will.
John Wesley

In all cases, the Church is to be judged by the Scripture, not the Scripture by the Church.
John Wesley
Prayer is where the action is.
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
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
Vice does not lose its character by becoming fashionable.
John Wesley
Oh Lord, let me not live to be useless.
John Wesley
Every one, though born of God in an instant, yet undoubtedly grows by slow degrees.
John Wesley
