My mother was the source from which I derived the guiding principles of my life.
John Wesley
Image
I desired as many as could to join together in fasting and prayer, that God would restore the spirit of love and of a sound mind to the poor deluded rebels in America.
John Wesley
Image
Do all the good you can, by all the means you can.
John Wesley
Image
In souls filled with love, the desire to please God is continual prayer.
John Wesley
Image
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
Image
Purge me from every sinful blot My idols all be cast aside: Cleanse me from every evil thought, From all the filth of self and pride. The hatred of the carnal mind Out of my flesh at once remove: Give me a tender heart, resigned, And pure, and full of faith and love.

Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can.
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
A meek spirit gives no trouble willingly to any: a quiet spirit bears all wrongs without being troubled.
John Wesley
Image
Bear up the hands that hang down, by faith and prayer support the tottering knees. Have you any days of fasting and prayer? Storm the throne of grace and persevere therein, and mercy will come down.
John Wesley
Image
Do you know why that cow looks over that wall? She looks over the wall because she cannot see through it, and that is what you must do with your troubles... Look over and above them.
John Wesley
Image
Reading Christians are growing Christians. When Christians cease to read, they cease to grow.
John Wesley
Image
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
Image
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
Image
No circumstances can make it necessary for a man to burst in sunder all the ties of humanity.
John Wesley
Image
Do no harm. Do good. Stay in love with God.
John Wesley

Men of learning began to set experiments aside...to form theories...and to substitute these in the place of experiments.
