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

William Booth
Image
Why should the devil have all the best tunes?
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
Go straight for souls, and go for the worst.
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
You cannot warm the hearts of people with God's love if they have an empty stomach and cold feet.
William Booth
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.
William Booth
Image
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
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
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 is a day coming when there will be a religion without repentance, a salvation without the Holy Ghost, a Heaven without Hell.
