Revival Quotations

A revival does two things. First, it returns the Church from her backsliding and second, it causes the conversion of men and women; and it always includes the conviction of sin on the part of the Church. What a spell the devil seems to cast over the Church today!
Billy Sunday

I believe there is no doctrine more dangerous to the Church today than to convey the impression that a revival is something peculiar in itself and cannot be judged by the same rules of causes and effect as other things.
Billy Sunday

When may a revival be expected? When the wickedness of the wicked grieves and distresses the Christian.
Billy Sunday

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

They tell me a revival is only temporary; so is a bath, but it does you good.
Billy Sunday

The blues - the sound of a sinner on revival day.
William Christopher Handy

Mother goddesses are just as silly a notion as father gods. If a revival of the myths of these cults gives woman emotional satisfaction, it does so at the price of obscuring the real conditions of life. This is why they were invented in the first place.
Angela Carter

I am saying voluntarily that I have sung for almost every religious group in the country, from Jewish and Catholic, and Presbyterian and Holy Rollers and Revival Churches.
Pete Seeger

The conservative revival cannot be dismissed.
Christopher Lasch
