William Booth
Image
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
Image
I must go, not only to those who need me, but to those who need me most.
William Booth
Image
Most Christians would like to send their recruits to Bible college for five years. I would like to send them to hell for five minutes. That would do more than anything else to prepare them for a lifetime of compassionate ministry.

Look well to the fire of your souls, for the tendency of fire is to go out.
William Booth
Image
I am for the world's salvation, I will quarrel with no means that promises help.
