Can we go too fast in saving souls? If anyone still wants a reply, let him ask the lost souls in Hell.
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

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
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
Look! Don't be deceived by appearances - men and things are not what they seem. All who are not on the rock are in the sea!

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
Image
It is impossible to comfort men's hearts with the love of God when their feet are perishing with cold.
William Booth

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 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
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
Image
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
Image
I must go, not only to those who need me, but to those who need me most.
William Booth
Image
I will tell you the secret. God has had all there was of me.

What is the use of preaching the Gospel to men whose whole attention is concentrated upon a mad, desperate struggle to keep themselves alive?

There appears to be a deeply embedded uneasiness in our culture about throwing away junk that can be reused. Perhaps, in part, it is guilt about consumption. Perhaps it also feels unnatural. Mother Nature doesn't throw stuff away. Dead trees, birds, beetles and elephants are pretty quickly recycled by the system.
