John Wesley

We should be rigorous in judging ourselves and gracious in judging others.

A man of one book, a student of many.

You have one business on earth – to save souls.

What one generation tolerates, the next generation will embrace.

God grant that I may never live to be useless!

Faith is the divine evidence whereby the spiritual man discerneth God, and the things of God.

Let your words be the genuine picture of your heart.

It cannot be that the people should grow in grace unless they give themselves to reading. A reading people will always be a knowing people.

Having, First, gained all you can, and, Secondly saved all you can, Then give all you can.

Though I am always in haste, I am never in a hurry.

Every one, though born of God in an instant, yet undoubtedly grows by slow degrees.

God does nothing but in answer to prayer.

Desire other things so far as they tend to this; love the creature, as it leads to the Creator.

One design you are to pursue to the end of time – the enjoyment of God in time and in eternity.

Above all sing spiritually. Have an eye to God in every word you sing. Aim at pleasing Him more than yourself, or any other creature.

I learned more about Christianity from my mother than from all the theologians in England.

The first priority of my life is to be holy, and the second goal of my life is to be a scholar.

Bring me a worm that can comprehend a man, and then I will show you a man that can comprehend the triune God.

Money never stays with me. I throw it out of my hands as soon as possible, lest it should find its way into my heart.

Give me 100 men who hate nothing but sin and love God with all their hearts and I will shake the world for Christ!
