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.

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.

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

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
The greatness of a man's power is the measure of his surrender.

Image
I must go, not only to those who need me, but to those who need me most.

Image
Before we go to our knees to receive the Baptism of Fire, let me beg of you to see to it that your souls are in harmony with the will and purpose of the Holy Spirit whom you seek.

I am not waiting for a move of God, I am a move of God!

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.

I am for the world's salvation, I will quarrel with no means that promises help.

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.

Look well to the fire of your souls, for the tendency of fire is to go out.

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.
