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.

I determined never to stop until I had come to the end and achieved my purpose.

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

The mere animal pleasure of travelling in a wild unexplored country is also great. The effect of travel on a man whose heart is in the right place is that the mind is made more self-reliant: it becomes more confident of its own resources, there is greater presence of mind.

God had an only Son and He made Him a missionary.

It is far easier to travel than to write about it.

All that I am I owe to Jesus Christ, revealed to me in His divine Book.
