James Wesley Ellington

Famous quotes containing the words james and/or wesley:

    Whatever question there may be of his talent, there can be none, I think, of his genius. It was a slim and crooked one, but it was eminently personal. He was unperfect, unfinished, inartistic; he was worse than provincial—he was parochial.
    —Henry James (1843–1916)

    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.
    —John Wesley (1703–1791)
