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.

More quotes by William Booth
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.
William Booth
You cannot warm the hearts of people with God's love if they have an empty stomach and cold feet.
William Booth
Can we go too fast in saving souls? If anyone still wants a reply, let him ask the lost souls in Hell.
William Booth
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
Your days at the most cannot be very long, so use them to the best of your ability for the glory of God and the benefit of your generation.
William Booth
I must assert in the most unqualified way that it is primarily and mainly for the sake of saving the soul that I seek the salvation of the body.
William Booth
Faith and works should travel side by side, step answering to step, like the legs of men walking. First faith, and then works and then faith again, and then works again--until they can scarcely distinguish which is the one and which is the other.
William Booth
... you cannot make a man clean [simply] by washing his shirt.
William Booth
No sort of defense is needed for preaching outdoors, but it would take a very strong argument to prove that a man who has never preached beyond the walls of his meetinghouse has done his duty. A defense is required for services within buildings rather than for worship outside of them.
William Booth
God loves with a great love the man whose heart is bursting with a passion for the impossible.
William Booth
I am not waiting for a move of God, I am a move of God!
William Booth
Some of my best men are women!
William Booth
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
Without excuse and self-consideration of health or limb or life, true soldiers fight, live to fight, love the thickest of the fight, and die in the midst of it.
William Booth
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
While women weep, as they do now, I'll fight.
William Booth
I must go, not only to those who need me, but to those who need me most.
William Booth
Look well to the fire of your souls, for the tendency of fire is to go out.
William Booth
Some men's passion is for gold. some men's passion is for art. some men's passion is for fame. my passion is for souls
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
