“Your reputation is what people say about you. Your character is what God and your wife know about you.”

The saloon is a liar. It promises good cheer and sends sorrow. It promises prosperity and sends adversity. It promises happiness and sends misery…. It is God’s worst enemy and the devil’s best friend.

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

You can’t measure manhood with a tape line around the biceps.

If you want to drive the devil out of the world, hit him with a cradle instead of a crutch

I tell you that the curse of God Almighty is on the saloon.

I have more respect for the devil than for some preachers I have met; the devil believes the Bible is the Word of God!

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

When is a revival needed? When carelessness and unconcern keep the people asleep.

The mother of Moses did more for the world than all the kinds that Egypt ever had. Oh, you wait until you reach the mountains of eternity, then read the mothers’ names in God’s Hall of Fame.

The Bible says forgive your debtors; the world says “sue them for their dough.”

I am a temperance Republican down to my toes.

Let’s quit fiddling with religion and do something to bring the world to Christ.

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

God Almighty never intended that the devil should triumph over the Church. He never intended that the saloons should walk rough-shod over Christianity.

The law tells me how crooked I am. Grace comes along and straightens me out.

I am an old-fashioned preacher of the old-time religion, that has warmed this cold world’s heart for two thousand years.
