Let me forget the world and be swallowed up in the desire to glorify God.

Worldly pleasures, such as flow from greatness, riches, honours, and sensual gratifications, are infinitely worse than none

All my desire was the conversion of the heathen... I declare, now I am dying, I would not have spent my life otherwise for the whole world.

I cared not where or how I lived, or what hardships I went through, so I could but gain souls to Christ

Let me forget the world and be swallowed up in the desire to glorify God.

My disorder has been attended with several symptoms of a consumption; and I have been at times apprehensive that my great change was at hand: yet blessed be God, I have never been affrighted; but, on the contrary, at times much delighted with a view of its approach.

I have a secret thought from some things I have observed, that God may perhaps design you for some singular service in the world.
