Son Wesley

Famous quotes containing the words son and/or wesley:

    Tell my son how anxious I am that he may read and learn his Book, that he may become the possessor of those things that a grateful country has bestowed upon his papa—Tell him that his happiness through life depends upon his procuring an education now; and with it, to imbibe proper moral habits that can entitle him to the possession of them.
    Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)

    Once in seven years I burn all my sermons; for it is a shame if I cannot write better sermons now than I did seven years ago.
