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.

While there remains one dark soul without the light of God, I'll fight - I'll fight to the very end!
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?

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.

I will tell you the secret. God has had all there was of me.

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.

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.

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

While women weep, as they do now, I'll fight.
