John Wesley

I have often wondered that any man, who has tasted of the pleasures of retirement, can ever be prevailed upon to quit them.

I am not careful about my life or my death. I know that I am in the hands of God.

I have often thought, that if I were to choose a place of abode, it should be in a country where there were no rich people.

I have often thought that the greatest proof of the goodness of God to man, is that he has given him a wife.

I have often thought, that if I were to choose a profession, it should be that of a physician.

I have often thought that the grand reason why the generality of Christians are so cold and lifeless, is because they do not believe the Bible.

I have often thought, that the best way to do good, is to do it as if you were doing it for yourself.

I have often thought that the greatest comfort in life, is to have a friend.

I have often thought, that if I were to choose a time to live, it should be in the first ages of Christianity.

I have often thought, that if I were to choose a language to speak, it should be Greek.

I have often thought, that if I were to choose a book to read, it should be the Bible.

I have often thought, that if I were to choose a food to eat, it should be bread and water.

I have often thought, that if I were to choose a servant, it should be one that needed no wages.

I have often thought, that if I were to choose a carriage to ride in, it should be a plain one.

I have often thought, that if I were to choose a way to travel, it should be on foot.

I have often thought, that if I were to choose a companion to travel with, it should be one that would talk little.

I have often thought, that if I were to choose a place to preach in, it should be in the open air.

I have often thought, that if I were to choose a text to preach from, it should be 'God is love.'

I set myself on fire, and people come to watch me burn.

Cleanliness is indeed next to godliness.
