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

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

People talk of the sacrifice I have made in spending so much of my life in Africa. It is emphatically no sacrifice. Say rather it is a privilege.

Sympathy is no substitute for action.

I saw the duty and inestimable privilege _immediately_ to accept salvation by Christ. Humbly believing that through sovereign mercy and grace I have been enabled so to do, and having felt in some measure its effects on my still depraved and deceitful heart, 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'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.

If we have not enough in our religion . . . to share it with all the world, it is doomed here at home.
