God loves with a great love the man whose heart is bursting with a passion for the impossible.
William Booth
Image
Put your ear down to the Bible, and hear Him bid you go and pull sinners out of the fire of sin. Put your ear down to the burdened, agonized heart of humanity, and listen to its pitiful wail for help.
William Booth
Image
While there remains one dark soul without the light of God, I'll fight - I'll fight to the very end!
William Booth
Image
Go straight for souls, and go for the worst.
William Booth
Image
I will tell you the secret. God has had all there was of me.
William Booth
Image
Don't instill, or allow anybody else to instill into the hearts of your girls the idea that marriage is the chief end of life. If you do, don't be surprised if they get engaged to the first empty, useless fool they come across.
William Booth
Image
If I thought I could win one more soul to the Lord by walking on my head and playing the tambourine with my toes, I'd learn how!
William Booth
Image
It is against stupidity in every shape and form that we have to wage our eternal battle. But how can we wonder at the want of sense on the part of those who have had no advantages, when we see such plentiful absence of that commodity on the part of those who have had all the advantages?
William Booth
Image
If there is anything of power in The Salvation Army today, it is because God has had all the adoration of my heart, all the power of my will, and all the influence of my life.
William Booth
Image
I consider that the chief dangers which confront the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost, Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration, politics without God, and heaven without hell.
William Booth
Image
Secular music, do you say, belongs to the devil? Does it? Well, if it did I would plunder him for it, for he has no right to a single note of the whole seven. Every note, and every strain, and every harmony is divine, and belongs to us.
William Booth
Image
A man's labor is not only his capital but his life. When it passes it returns never more. To utilize it, to prevent its wasteful squandering, to enable the poor man to bank it up for use hereafter, this surely is one of the most urgent tasks before civilization.
William Booth
Image
Why should the devil have all the best tunes?
William Booth
Image
Some of my best men are women!
William Booth
Image
I must go, not only to those who need me, but to those who need me most.
William Booth
Image
You cannot warm the hearts of people with God's love if they have an empty stomach and cold feet.
William Booth
Image
I am not waiting for a move of God, I am a move of God!
William Booth
Image
Will you go to His feet and place yourself entirely at His disposal?
William Booth
Image
It is impossible to comfort men's hearts with the love of God when their feet are perishing with cold.
William Booth
Image
We must wake ourselves up! Or somebody else will take our place, and bear our cross, and thereby rob us of our crown.
William Booth
