May the time come when rich men and great men would think it an honor to support whole stations of missionaries in Africa, instead of spending their money on hounds and horses.

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

Without Christ, not one step; with Him, anywhere!

Death alone will put a stop to my effort!

I'll go anywhere as long as it's forward.
