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
You have nothing to do but to save souls therefore spend and be spent in this work.
John Wesley
Image
Do no harm. Do good. Stay in love with God.
John Wesley
Image
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

I look upon all the world as my parish.
John Wesley
Image
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

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.
John Wesley
Image
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
Image
Money never stays with me. It would burn me if it did. I throw it out of my hands as soon as possible, lest it should find its way into my heart.
John Wesley
Image
Untold millions are still untold.
John Wesley
Image
It is the work of God alone to justify, to sanctify, and to glorify.
John Wesley
Image
In all cases, the Church is to be judged by the Scripture, not the Scripture by the Church.
John Wesley
Image
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
Image
Passion and prejudice govern the world only under the name of reason.
John Wesley
Image
The first priority of my life is to be holy, and the second goal of my life is to be a scholar.
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

Oh Lord, let me not live to be useless.
John Wesley
