The salvation of a single soul is more important than the production or preservation of all the epics and tragedies in the world.
-C.S. Lewis

It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people's attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.
-G. C. (Georg Christoph) Lichtenberg

There is no arguing with the pretenders to a divine knowledge and to a divine mission. They are possessed with the sin of pride, they have yielded to the perennial temptation.
-Walter Lippmann

The Holy Spirit can't save saints or seats. If we don't know any non-Christians, how can we introduce them to the Savior?

Preaching is heady wine. It is pleasant to tell people where they get off.
-Sir Arnold Lunn

If he have faith, the believer cannot be restrained. He betrays himself. He breaks out. He confesses and teaches this gospel to the people at the risk of life itself.
-Martin Luther

Some plague the people with too long sermons; for the faculty of listening is a tender thing, and soon becomes weary and satiated.
-Martin Luther

Preach in the name of God. The learned will smile; ask the learned what they have done for their country. The priests will excommunicate you; say to the priests that you know God better than all of them together do, and that between God and His law you have no need of any intermediary. The people will understand you, and repeat with you: We believe in God the Father, who is Intelligence and Love, Creator and Teacher of Humanity. And in this saying you and the People will conquer.
-Giuseppe Mazzini

As each Sister is to become a Co-Worker of Christ in the slums, each ought to understand what God and the Missionaries of Charity expect from her. Let Christ radiate and live his life in her and through her in the slums. Let the poor, seeing her, be drawn to Christ and invite him to enter their homes and their lives. Let the sick and suffering find in her a real angel of comfort and consolation. Let the little ones of the streets cling to her because she reminds them of him, the friend of the little ones.

Evangelism is just one beggar telling another beggar where to find bread.

In soliciting donations from his flock, a preacher may promise eternal life in a celestial city whose streets are paved with gold, and that's none of the law's business. But if he promises an annual free stay in a luxury hotel on Earth, he'd better have the rooms available.
-Charlotte Observer

Our business is to present the Christian faith clothed in modern terms, not to propagate modern thought clothed in Christian terms. Confusion here is fatal.
-J. I. Packer

If the truth were known, many sermons are prepared and preached with more regard for the sermon than the souls of the hearers.
-George F. Pentecost

Being an extrovert isn't essential to evangelism--obedience and love are.

To preach long, loud, and Damnation, is the way to be cried up. We love a man that damns us, and we run after him again to save us.
-John Selden

But, good my brother, do not, as some ungracious pastors do. Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven whilst like a puffed and reckless libertine himself the primrose path of dalliance treads and recks not his own rede.
-William Shakespeare
