God loves with a great love the man whose heart is bursting with a passion for the impossible.
William Booth
Image
There is a day coming when there will be a religion without repentance, a salvation without the Holy Ghost, a Heaven without Hell.
William Booth
Image
Some of my best men are women!
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
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
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?

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.

Image
... you cannot make a man clean [simply] by washing his shirt.

Image
The tendency of fire is to go out watch the fire on the altar of your heart. Anyone who has tended a fireplace fire knows that it needs to be stirred up occasionally.
William Booth
Image
There are men so incorrigibly lazy that no inducement that you can offer will tempt them to work so eaten up by vice that virtue is abhorrent to them, and so inveterably dishonest that theft is to them a master passion.
William Booth
Image
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.

Image
If Moses had operated through committees the Israelites never would have got across the Red Sea.
William Booth
Image
What is the use of preaching the Gospel to men whose whole attention is concentrated upon a mad, desperate struggle to keep themselves alive?
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
If you want to change the future, then you are going to have to trouble the present.
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.
William Booth
Image
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
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 for the world's salvation, I will quarrel with no means that promises help.
