Nothing earthly will make me give up my work in despair.

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.

Self-deception helps us deceive.

All I can say in my solitude is, May Heaven's rich blessing come down on every one - American, English, Turk - who will help to heal this open sore of the world.

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

I never made a sacrifice. Of this we ought not to talk when we remember the great sacrifice which he made who left His Father's throne on high to give Himself for us.

I will place no value on anything I have or may possess, except in relation to the kingdom of Christ. If anything will advance the interests of that kingdom, it shall be given away or kept only in reference to whether giving or keeping will most promote the glory1 of him to whom I owe all my hopes in time and eternity.
