Sing lustily and with a good courage. Beware of singing as if you were half dead, or half asleep but lift up your voice with strength.

More quotes by 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
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
Always remember the essence of Christian holiness is simplicity and purity: one design, one desire: entire devotion to God.
John Wesley
As long as you feel your own weakness and helplessness, you will find help from above.
John Wesley
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.
John Wesley
The giving up of (a belief in) witchcraft is in effect the giving up of (a beilief in) the Bible.
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
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
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
To slay the sinner is then the first use of the Law, to destroy the life and strength wherein he trusts and convince him that he is dead while he lives not only under the sentence of death, but actually dead to God, void of all spiritual life, dead in trespasses and sins.
John Wesley
In all cases, the Church is to be judged by the Scripture, not the Scripture by the Church.
John Wesley
In returning I read a very different book, published by an honest Quaker , on that execrable sum of all villanies, commonly called the Slave-trade.
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
I am never in a hurry, because I never undertake more work than I can go through with perfect calmness of spirit.
John Wesley
The first priority of my life is to be holy, and the second goal of my life is to be a scholar.
John Wesley
Catch on fire and people will come for miles to see you burn.
John Wesley
As to matters of dress, I would recommend one never to be first in the fashion nor the last out of it.
John Wesley
No circumstances can make it necessary for a man to burst in sunder all the ties of humanity.
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
My mother was the source from which I derived the guiding principles of my life.
John Wesley
