“O never give me over to my own heart's desires, nor let me follow my o...” — John Wesley Quote

“O never give me over to my own heart's desires, nor let me follow my own imaginations!”

“I saw that giving even all my life to God (supposing it possible to do this and go no further) would profit me nothing unless I gave my heart, yea, all my heart, to Him.”

“I plainly felt that, had God given me such a retirement with the companion I desired, I should have forgotten the work for which I was born and have set up my rest in this world.”

“They who overcome their desires once can overcome them always.”

“God grant you all your desires and accept my own hearty thanks for all your attention to me. Although indeed, those attentions have tried me more than death can now terrify me.”

“People are motivated by the desires for privilege, for power, for profit. Those are not shocking revelations. Anyone who's had any experience in life knows these things.”
