William Booth
Good cookery is not an extravagance but an economy, and many a tasty dish is made by our Continental friends out of materials which would be discarded indignantly by the poorest tramp in Whitechapel.
William Booth
While there remains one dark soul without the light of God, I'll fight - I'll fight to the very end!

William Booth
Go straight for souls, and go for the worst.
William Booth
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
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
... you cannot make a man clean [simply] by washing his shirt.
William Booth
I am not waiting for a move of God, I am a move of God!
William Booth
It is impossible to comfort men's hearts with the love of God when their feet are perishing with cold.
William Booth
The greatness of a man's power is the measure of his surrender.
William Booth
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
