More quotes by John Wesley
Having, First, gained all you can, and, Secondly saved all you can, Then give all you can.
John Wesley
Employ whatever God has entrusted you with, in doing good, all possible good, in every possible kind and degree.
John Wesley
Passion and prejudice govern the world only under the name of reason.
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
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
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
Is it not common to say to a child, 'Put your finger in that candle, can you bear it even for one minute?' How then will you bear Hell-fire? Surely it would be torment enough to have the flesh burnt off from only one finger what then will it be to have the whole body plunged into a lake of fire, burning with brimstone?
John Wesley
It is the Spirit that sheds the love of God abroad in their hearts, and the love of all mankind thereby purifying their hearts from the love of the world, from the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye, and the pride of life. It is by Him they are delivered from anger and pride, from all vile and inordinate affections.
John Wesley
Proceed with much prayer, and your way will be made plain.
John Wesley
The Church recruited people who had been starched and ironed before they were washed.
John Wesley
The giving up of (a belief in) witchcraft is in effect the giving up of (a beilief in) the Bible.
John Wesley
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
Men of learning began to set experiments aside...to form theories...and to substitute these in the place of experiments.
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
My ground is the Bible. Yea, I am a Bible-bigot. I follow it in all things, both great and small.
John Wesley
I look on all the world as my parish thus far I mean, that, in whatever part of it I am, I judge it meet, right, and my bounden duty, to declare unto all that are willing to hear, the glad tidings of salvation.
John Wesley
Any 'Christians' who take for themselves any more than the plain necessaries of life, live in an open habitual denial of the Lord. They have gained riches and hell-fire.
John Wesley
Beware you be not swallowed up in books! An ounce of love is worth a pound of knowledge.
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
