The man who pauses in his honesty wants little of a villain.

If [God] has work for me to do, I cannot die.

God and eternal things are my only pleasure.

I see no business in life but the work of Christ.

I am born for God only. Christ is nearer to me than father, or mother, or sister - a near relation, a more affectionate Friend; and I rejoice to follow Him, and to love Him. Blessed Jesus! Thou art all I want - a forerunner to me in all I ever shall go through as a Christian, a minister, or a missionary.

Even if I should never see a native converted, God may design by my patience and continuance in the Word to encourage future missionaries.

My soul, alas, needs these uneasinesses in outward things, to be driven to take refuge in God.
