More quotes by 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 will tell you the secret. God has had all there was of me.
William Booth
Go straight for souls, and go for the worst.
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
Look well to the fire of your souls, for the tendency of fire is to go out.
William Booth
Good cookery is not an extravagance but an economy, and many a tasty dish is made by our Continental friends out of materials which would be discarded indignantly by the poorest tramp in Whitechapel.
William Booth
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
It is impossible to comfort men's hearts with the love of God when their feet are perishing with cold.
William Booth
The greatness of a man's power is the measure of his surrender.
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
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
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
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
While there remains one dark soul without the light of God, I'll fight - I'll fight to the very end!
William Booth
Will you go to His feet and place yourself entirely at His disposal?
William Booth
... you cannot make a man clean [simply] by washing his shirt.
William Booth
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.
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
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.
