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.
People talk of the sacrifice I have made in spending so much of my life in Africa. It is emphatically no sacrifice. Say rather it is a privilege.
I am a missionary, heart and soul. God had an only Son, and He was a missionary and a physician. I am a poor, poor imitation of Him, or wish to be. In this service I hope to live; in it I wish to die!
Without Christ, not one step; with Him, anywhere!
I am immortal till my work is accomplished.
And although I see few results, future missionaries will see conversions following every sermon. May they not forget the pioneers who worked in the thick gloom with few rays to cheer, except such as flow from faith in the precious promises of God’s Word.
I place no value on anything I have or may possess, except in relation to the kingdom of God. If anything will advance the interests of the kingdom, it shall be given away or kept, only as by giving or keeping it I shall most promote the glory of Him to whom I owe all my hopes in time or eternity.
I’ll go anywhere as long as it’s forward.
It is working with clients and changing that perception. I don’t mind if market commentators have that view. It’s the view that clients have that matters.

Do not think me mad. It is not to make money that I believe a Christian should live. The noblest thing a man can do is, just humbly to receive, and then go amongst others and give.
Death alone will put a stop to my effort!
Christ alone can save the world, but Christ cannot save the world alone.
I have found that I have no unusual endowments of intellect, but this day I resolve that I will be an uncommon Christian.
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.
All that I am I owe to Jesus Christ, revealed to me in His divine Book.
