A Christian minister is a person who in a peculiar sense is not his own; he is the servant of God, and therefore ought to be wholly devoted to Him.

The less said about me the better.

Expect great things from God, attempt great things for God.

I'm not afraid of failure; I'm afraid of succeeding at things that don't matter.

...even on the low ground of common sense I seemed to be called to be a missionary. Is the kingdom a harvest field? Then I thought it reasonable that I should seek to work where the work was most abundant and the workers fewest.

I can plod. I can persevere in any definite pursuit. To this I owe everything.

I am very defective in all duties... In prayer I wander and am formal... I soon tire; devotion languishes; and I do not walk with God.
