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
I am for the world's salvation, I will quarrel with no means that promises help.
William Booth
Image
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
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
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
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
Look well to the fire of your souls, for the tendency of fire is to go out.
William Booth
Image
Will you go to His feet and place yourself entirely at His disposal?
William Booth
Image
The greatness of a man's power is the measure of his surrender.
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
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!
William Booth
Image
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
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
I am not waiting for a move of God, I am a move of God!
William Booth
Image
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
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
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
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.
