An ounce of love is worth a pound of knowledge.”― John Wesley,“October 6, 1774 I met those of our society who had votes in the ensuing election, and advised them 1.

Herein all the children of God may unite, notwithstanding these smaller differences.”“It cannot be that the people should grow in grace unless they give themselves to reading.

He blesses God for all things, looks on them as coming from Him, and receives them for His sake- not choosing nor refusing, liking or disliking,anything, but only as it is agreeable or disagreeable to His perfect will.”
“Give me 100 preachers who fear nothing but sin and desire nothing but God; such alone will shake the gates of hell.”
