I must entreat you, in the name of God, be open to conviction. Whatever prejudices you have contracted from education, custom, or example, divest yourselves of them, as far as possible. Be willing to receive light either from God or man; do not shut your eyes against it. Rather be glad to see more than you did before, to have the eyes of your understanding opened.
You that have passed the morning, perhaps the noon of life, who find the shadows of evening approach, set a better example to those that are to come, to the now-rising generation.... See that you redeem every moment that remains.
The Journal of John Wesley
