We are a long time in learning that all our strength and salvation is in God.

Lord, let me make a difference for you that is utterly disproportionate to who I am.

I am more weary of life, I think, than ever I was.

I care not where I go, or how I live, or what I endure so that I may save souls. When I sleep I dream of them; when I awake they are first in my thoughts.

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

As to my success here I cannot say much as yet: the Indians seem generally kind, and well-disposed towards me, and are mostly very attentive to my instructions, and seem willing to be taught further.

If you hope for happiness in the world, hope for it from God, and not from the world.
