To speak no evil of the person they voted against, and 3. To take care their spirits were not sharpened against those that voted on the other side.
John Wesley
Read the most useful books, and that regularly and constantly.

Lord, is it not Thy word, if any man lack wisdom, let him ask of God? Thou givest liberally, and upbraidest not. Thou hast said, if any be willing to do Thy will, he shall know. I am willing to do, let me know Thy will.
John Wesley
Employ whatever God has entrusted you with, in doing good, all possible good, in every possible kind and degree.
John Wesley
Prayer continues in the desire of the heart, though the understanding be employed on outward things.
John Wesley
I am never in a hurry, because I never undertake more work than I can go through with perfect calmness of spirit.

Though I am always in haste, I am never in a hurry.
John Wesley
