David Livingstone
Image
Men are immortal till their work is done.
David Livingstone
Image
The mere animal pleasure of travelling in a wild unexplored country is also great. The effect of travel on a man whose heart is in the right place is that the mind is made more self-reliant: it becomes more confident of its own resources, there is greater presence of mind.
David Livingstone
