Billy Sunday

When may a revival be expected? When the wickedness of the wicked grieves and distresses the Christian.

The Democratic party of Florida has put a temperance plank in its platform and the Republican party of every state would nail that plank in their platform if they thought it would carry the election.

If you don't do your part, don't blame God.

I have been, and will go on, fighting that damnable, dirty, rotten business with all the power at my command.

I dare not exercise personal liberty if it infringes on the liberty of others.

I believe the Bible is the word of God from cover to cover.

I am a temperance Republican down to my toes.

And if you think that anybody is going to frighten me, you don't know me yet.

I believe that a long step toward public morality will have been taken when sins are called by their right names.

Whiskey is all right in its place - but its place is hell.

Live so that when the final summons comes you will leave something more behind you than an epitaph on a tombstone or an obituary in a newspaper.

What have you given the world it never possessed before you came?

Some persons have lived manly or womanly lives, and they lack but one thing - open confession of the Lord Jesus Christ. Some men think that they must come to him in a certain way - that they must be stirred by emotion or something like that.

Try praising your wife, even if it does frighten her at first.

The trouble with many men is that they have got just enough religion to make them miserable. If there is not joy in religion, you have got a leak in your religion.

I am the sworn, eternal and uncompromising enemy of the liquor traffic.

You might as well try and dam Niagara Falls with toothpicks as to stop the reform wave sweeping our land.

There are individuals who have never done anything for Jesus Christ, and I have no doubt there are preachers as well, who have never done anything for the God Almighty.

A revival does two things. First, it returns the Church from her backsliding and second, it causes the conversion of men and women; and it always includes the conviction of sin on the part of the Church. What a spell the devil seems to cast over the Church today!

I believe there is no doctrine more dangerous to the Church today than to convey the impression that a revival is something peculiar in itself and cannot be judged by the same rules of causes and effect as other things.
