It is hard to work for years with pure motives, and all the time be looked upon by most of those to whom our lives are devoted as having some sinister object in view.

Oh, that I could dedicate my all to God. This is all the return I can make Him.

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.

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.

If you knew the satisfaction of performing such a duty, as well as the gratitude to God which the missionary must always feel, in being chosen for so noble, so sacred a calling, you would have no hesitation in embracing it.

I view the end of the geographical feat as the beginning of the missionary enterprise.

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