I have never ceased to rejoice that God has appointed me to such an office.

Terrorism is a word with little content - it is a label for brutalities committed by ‘the enemy’, and from which one’s own acts of destruction are exempted. It is an inchoate and emotionally laden concept, a semantic mirror of our dishonesty and a repository for everything about war that we would like to disavow. Making a sharp distinction between war and terrorism is at best a self-deceptive game.

God, send me anywhere, only go with me. Lay any burden on me, only sustain me. And sever any tie in my heart except the tie that binds my heart to Yours.

Fear God and work hard.

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.

I am willing to go anywhere, anywhere, anywhere-provided it be forward.

I have never ceased to rejoice that God has appointed me to such an office.
