309 Quotes by Dwight L. Moody

What we need as Christians is to be able to feed ourselves. How many there are who sit helpless and listless, with open mouths, hungry for spiritual things, and the minister has to try to feed them, while the Bible is a feast prepared, into which they never venture.

The object of the Bible is not to tell how good men are, but how bad men can become good.

Happiness is caused by things that happen around me, and circumstances will mar it; but joy flows right on through trouble; joy flows in the night as well as in the day; joy flows through persecution and opposition.

A worker must win the hearts and affections of the people before he can do any effective work.

Unless the Spirit of God is with us, we cannot expect that our prayers will be answered.
