The War Cry | August 18, 2012
"If you want to do right, on pleasant or unpleasant
lines, go straight at it; get satisfied as to what
you ought to do, and then give up deliberating.
Cease weighing the matter over, getting the advice
of good, timid people, and at once commit yourself,
in the most emphatic and public manner.
If you don't act this way ten to one you won't
act in the right way at all."
"The Bible is a fire escape by which men can be
pulled out of the raging fire of sin; a lifeboat by
which they can be rescued from the stormy waves of
everlasting destruction; a ladder up which they can
climb to the golden gates of the City of God."
"You cannot make a man clean by
washing his shirt."
"Comrades, whatever other gifts you have, if you
are to succeed, you must have hearts, and hearts
that can feel. "
"If the world believes in the survival of the fit ... The
Salvation Army believes in the salvation of the
unfit."
"Every day it seems plainer to me that nothing
tremendous will be accomplished until we have a
force of people willing to dash pearls to atoms,
trample on worldly pleasure, wealth, ease,
reputation and all else and even life itself."
