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.

The profession of a prostitute is the only career in which the maximum income is paid to the newest apprentice.

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.

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

If you want to change the future, then you are going to have to trouble the present.

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

God loves with a great love the man whose heart is bursting with a passion for the impossible.

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.
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
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?
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
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
I must go, not only to those who need me, but to those who need me most.
William Booth
Image
I am not waiting for a move of God, I am a move of God!

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
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
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.

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.
