John Wesley's

Quotable Wisdom

I look upon all the world as my parish."

"Gain all you can; save all you can; give all you can."

"Do all the good you can, in all the ways you can, to all the

people you can, as long as even you can."

'Christianity is essentially a social religion and to turn it

into a solidarity religion is to destroy it."

"I am not afraid that the people called Methodists should even

cease to exist either in Europe or America. But I am afraid lest

they should only exist as a dead sect, having the form of religion

without the power."

"We may think and let think; we may agree to disagree. But,

meantime, let us hold fast the essentials of the faith which

was once delivered unto the saints."

"Give me one hundred preachers who fear nothing but sin

and desire nothing but God, and I care not a straw whether

they are clergy or lay, such alone will shake the gates of

hell and set up the kingdom of heaven on earth."
