"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."
"Holy tempers are the very essence of religion."
"I have often thought, that if I were to choose a time to live, it should be in the first ages of Christianity."
"Beware of judging men by their outward appearance, but judge them by their fruits."
"I am not afraid of the devil himself."
English Anglican cleric and founder of Methodism, whose open-air preaching and class-meeting structure created the largest 18th-century evangelical revival. Closely associated with Charles Wesley (his hymn-writing brother) and George Whitefield (early co-revivalist, later doctrinal opponent). For an intellectual contrast, see George Whitefield, Calvinist evangelical revivalist — Whitefield's predestinarian Calvinism vs Wesley's free-grace Arminian theology split the early Methodist movement permanently in the 1739-41 break. The founding evangelical Calvinist-Arminian schism — the two parallel evangelical traditions American Christianity descends from.

Do good as comprehensively and relentlessly as possible — through every method available, in every place, at every opportunity, toward every person, for your entire life. The repeated 'all' leaves no room for excuses about timing, location, or who deserves help. It reframes kindness not as occasional charity but as a permanent, unconditional life posture with no exceptions and no endpoint.
Wesley preached over 40,000 sermons, often outdoors to coal miners and factory workers ignored by the established Church. He founded free clinics, schools, and loan schemes for the poor, and gave away most of his income. His doctrine of sanctification held that believers must actively grow in holiness through service. For Wesley, doing good was not optional virtue but the central obligation of a Christian life.
Wesley lived through Britain's early industrialization — mass urban poverty, child labor, and a Church of England largely indifferent to working-class suffering. No welfare state existed; organized poor relief was minimal and often punitive. The Enlightenment was reshaping moral philosophy, but idealism rarely reached the streets. Wesley's Methodist societies filled this void through mutual aid, education, and poor relief, making his call to ceaseless active goodness a radical challenge to clerical complacency.
