I'd rather be in the heart of Africa in the will of God, than on the throne of England, out of the will of God.

People talk of the sacrifice I have made in spending so much of my life in Africa. Can that be called a sacrifice which is simply paid back as a small part of a great debt owing to our God, which we can never repay? All these are nothing when compared with the glory which shall be revealed in and for us. I never made a sacrifice.

It is my desire to show my attachment to the cause of Him who died for me by devoting my life to His service.

God had only one Son, and He was a missionary.

I'll go anywhere as long as it's forward.

This generation can only reach this generation.

It is emphatically no sacrifice. Say rather it is a privilege. Anxiety, sickness, suffering, or danger, now and then, with a foregoing of the common conveniences and charities of this life, may make us pause, and cause the spirit to waver, and the soul to sink; but let this only be for a moment. All these are nothing when compared with the glory which shall be revealed in and for us. I never made a sacrifice.
