A constant attention to the work which God entrusts us with is a mark of solid piety.
John Wesley

When Poetry thus keeps its place as the handmaiden of piety, it shall attain not a poor perishable wreath, but a crown that fadeth not away.
John Wesley
Image
You have nothing to do but to save souls therefore spend and be spent in this work.
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
I look upon all the world as my parish.
John Wesley
Image
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
Image
The neglect of prayer is a grand hindrance to holiness.
John Wesley
Image
There is no love of God without patience, and no patience without lowliness and sweetness of spirit.
John Wesley
Image
Try all things by the written word, and let all bow down before it. You are in danger of [fanaticism] every hour, if you depart ever so little from Scripture yea, or from the plain, literal meaning of an text, taken in connection with the context.
John Wesley
Image
Nothing short of God can satisfy your soul.
John Wesley
Image
Humility and patience are the surest proofs of the increase of love.

Read the most useful books, and that regularly and constantly.
