More quotes by 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
Wine, one of the noblest cordials in nature.
John Wesley
If we cannot think alike, at least we may love alike and can anything but love beget love?
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
[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
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
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
There is no love of God without patience, and no patience without lowliness and sweetness of spirit.
John Wesley
Gay and costly apparel directly tends to create and influence lust.... The fact is plain and undeniable, it has the effect both on the wearer and beholder. You kindle a flame, which, at the same time consumes both yourself and your admirers.
John Wesley
For as long as love takes up the whole heart, what room is there for sin therein?
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
Let me do all the good I can, to all the people I can, as often as I can, for I shall not pass this way again.
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
My mother was the source from which I derived the guiding principles of my life.
John Wesley
I continue to dream and pray about a revival of holiness in our day that moves forth in mission and creates authentic community in which each person can be unleashed through the empowerment of the Spirit to fulfill God's creational intentions.
John Wesley
You have one business on earth – to save souls.
John Wesley
Whatever the natural cause, sin is the true cause of all earthquakes.
John Wesley
May we not say, that true zeal is not mostly charitable, but wholly so? That is, if we take charity in St. Paul's sense, for love the love of God and our neighbour. For it is a certain truth, (although little understood in the world), that Christian zeal is all love. It is nothing else.
John Wesley
Humility and patience are the surest proofs of the increase of love.
John Wesley
They (the creatures) encourage us to imitate Him whose mercy is over all His works. It may enlarge our hearts toward these poor creatures to reflect that not one of them is forgotten in the sight of our Father which is in heaven.
John Wesley
