Sabbath sermon burning

Apparently John Wesley wrote in his journal in 1778 that

" 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."

What a fantastic quote! Wesley clearly remained a learner through out his lifetime, intending to improve as the years went by. What a provocation to all of us - those who teach and preach, and those who do not.
