John Wesley

I offered Christ to the Negroes in Antigua. I offered him to the slaves. I offered him to the very dregs of the people.

It is not possible for any one to be a true Christian believer, and not be a lover of mankind.

I have been in this city for over a year, yet I have not seen one instance of a truly awakened soul.

It is a melancholy proof of the blindness and ignorance of mankind, that they are not aware of the evil of sin.

By Methodists, I mean such as profess to pursue a Christian life by Scriptural rules and methods.

Beware of judging men by their outward appearance, but judge them by their fruits.

We have nothing to do but to save souls.

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

The world is my parish.

God grant that I may never live to be useless!

Holy tempers are the very essence of religion.

I am not afraid of dying. I have no fear of death.

I continue to dream and pray about a revival of holiness in our day that moves forth in power and reaches to the ends of the earth.

Reading the Scripture, I find there no other way to heaven than the way of holiness.

The more I see of the working of the present government, the more I am convinced that they are ripe for destruction.

I have not much time to spare for trifles.

God loves a cheerful giver.

It is a poor religion that consists in negatives only.

Preach faith till you have it; and then, because you have it, you will preach faith.

I will not speak to you as a Methodist, but as a man of common sense.
