It is a bad sign when Christians are frightened by 'political'sermonsöas if Christian preaching could be anything but political.

-Barth, Karl

I did not know I was a humorist. I have never been sure about it. In the middle ages,I should probably have gone about preaching and got myself burned or hanged.

Sir, a woman's preaching is like a dog walking on its hinder legs. It is not done well; but you are surprised to find it done at all.

-Johnson, Samuel known as Dr Johnson
  Remark, 31  Jul. Quoted in  James Boswell The Life of Samuel Johnson (1791), vol.1.

There should be less talk; a preaching point is not a meeting point.What do you do then? Take a broom and clean someone's house. That says enough.

I have none of the infirmities of old age, and have lost several I had in my youth. The grand cause is, the good pleasure of God, who does whatever pleases him. The chief means are:1. My constantly rising at four, for about fifty years. 2. My generally preaching at five in the morning; one of the most healthy exercises in the world. 3. My never travelling less, by sea or land, than four thousand five hundred miles in a year.
