Heard quote, I love God and flowers, but hate botany and theology. Who said?

It seems that this quote, “I love God and flowers, but hate theology and botany.” I thought it came from the North Georgia Methodist preacher Sam Jones. As a minister I use this quote a lot, and would like to be sure that I am giving the proper person credit.

If anyone has the quote, and its source it would be blessedly received.

Billy Sunday used to say, “I hate botany, but I love flowers. I hate zoology but I love animals. And I hate theology but I love God.”

Billy Sunday used to say, “I hate botany, but I love flowers. I hate zoology but I love animals. And I hate theology but I love God.” And what the world needs is a simple exaltation of Christ. That’s what Matthew did. That’s what Mark did. That’s what John did. That’s what Luke did in Acts. That’s what Paul did in Romans, Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, Thessalonians, Timothy, Titus and Philemon. That’s what Paul did. That’s what Peter did in I and II Peter. That’s what John did in I John. That’s what Jude did in Jude. That’s what John did in Revelation.
