John Wesley (28 June [O.S. 17 June] 1703 – 2 March 1791) was an English cleric and theologian who, with his brother Charles and fellow cleric George Whitefield, founded Methodism.
Not, how much of my money will I give to God, but, how much of God’s money will I keep for myself?
I see the necessity of preaching a full and present salvation from all sin.

Beware you are not a fiery, persecuting enthusiast. Do not imagine that God has called you (just contrary to the spirit of Him you style your Master) to destroy men’s lives, and not to save them. Never dream of forcing men into the ways of God. Think yourself, and let think. Use no constraint in matters of religion. Even those who are farthest out of the way never compel to come in by any other means than reason, truth, and love.
There is no love of God without patience, and no patience without lowliness and sweetness of spirit.
Let it be observed, that slovenliness is no part of religion; that neither this, nor any text of Scripture, condemns neatness of apparel. Certainly this is a duty, not a sin. Cleanliness is indeed next to godliness.
Employ whatever God has entrusted you with, in doing good, all possible good, in every possible kind and degree.
My one aim in life is to secure personal holiness, for without being holy myself I cannot promote real holiness in others.
The first priority of my life is to be holy, and the second goal of my life is to be a scholar.
Before I can preach love, mercy, and grace, I must preach sin, Law, and judgment. Preach 90% Law and 10% grace.
