If Moses had operated through committees the Israelites never would have got across the Red Sea.

William Booth (Preacher, 1829 – 1912)

Your days at the most cannot be very long, so use them to the best of your ability for the glory of God and the benefit of your generation.

William Booth (Preacher, 1829 – 1912)

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 (Preacher, 1829 – 1912)

Some men’s passion is for gold, some men’s passion is for art, some men’s passion is for fame, my passion is for souls.

William Booth (Preacher, 1829 – 1912)

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.

William Booth (Preacher, 1829 – 1912)

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 (Preacher, 1829 – 1912)

You cannot warm the hearts of people with God’s love if they have an empty stomach and cold feet.

William Booth (Preacher, 1829 – 1912)

I consider that the chief dangers which confront the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost, Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration, politics without God, and heaven without hell.

William Booth (Preacher, 1829 – 1912)

The Gospel that represents Jesus Christ, not as a system of truth to be received into the mind like I should receive a system of philosophy, or astronomy, but it represents Him as a real, living, mighty Saviour, able to save me now.

Catherine Booth (Co-founder of the Salvation Army, 1829 – 1890)

We are made for larger ends than Earth can encompass. Oh, let us be true to our exalted destiny.
