There is a day coming when there will be a religion without repentance, a salvation without the Holy Ghost, a Heaven without Hell.

The greatness of a man's power is the measure of his surrender.

I will tell you the secret: God has had all that there was of me. There have been men with greater brains than I, even with greater opportunities, but from the day I got the poor of London on my heart and caught a vision of what Jesus Christ could do with me and them, on that day I made up my mind that God should have all of William Booth there was. And if there is anything of power in the Salvation Army, it is because God has had all the adoration of my heart, all the power of my will, and all the influence of my life.

To get a man soundly saved it is not enough to put on him a pair of new breeches, to give him regular work, or even to give him a University education. These things are all outside a man, and if the inside remains unchanged you have wasted your labor. You must in some way or other graft upon the man's nature a new nature, which has in it the element of the Divine.

I am for the world's salvation, I will quarrel with no means that promises help.

Look well to the fire of your souls, for the tendency of fire is to go out.

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
