God and eternal things are my only pleasure.

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.

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

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

How or by what magic is it, that we convey our thoughts to one another with such case and accuracy?

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

The power of gentleness is irresistible.
