David Livingstone

“Cannot the love of Christ carry the missionary where the slave-trade carries the trader?”

“I am prepared to go anywhere, provided it be forward.”

“If you have men who will only come if they know there is a good road, I don't want them. I want men who will come if there is no road at all.”

“I determined never to stop until I had come to the end and achieved my purpose.”

“Fear God and work hard.”

“I will place no value on anything I have or may possess except in relation to the kingdom of Christ.”

“Sympathy is no substitute for action.”

“I am a missionary, heart and soul. God had an only Son, and He was a missionary and a physician. A poor, poor imitation of Him I am, or wish to be.”

“God, send me anywhere, only go with me. Lay any burden on me, only sustain me. Sever any ties but the tie that binds me to Thyself.”
