More quotes by John Wesley
Read the most useful books, and that regularly and constantly.
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
Prayer continues in the desire of the heart, though the understanding be employed on outward things.
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
I am never in a hurry, because I never undertake more work than I can go through with perfect calmness of spirit.
John Wesley
Riches naturally beget pride, love of the world, and every temper that is destructive of Christianity.
John Wesley
Whatever the natural cause, sin is the true cause of all earthquakes.
John Wesley
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.
John Wesley
Do all the good you can, by all the means you can.
John Wesley
Always remember the essence of Christian holiness is simplicity and purity: one design, one desire: entire devotion to God.
John Wesley
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
A meek spirit gives no trouble willingly to any: a quiet spirit bears all wrongs without being troubled.
John Wesley
As theories increased, simple medicines..were forgotten, at least in the politer nations. ...Medical books, were immensely multiplied,...(towards) an abstruse science, quite out of reach of ordinary men.
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
Men of learning began to set experiments aside...to form theories...and to substitute these in the place of experiments.
John Wesley
Catch on fire and people will come for miles to see you burn.
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
[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
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
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
