Do not think me mad. It is not to make money that I believe a Christian should live. The noblest thing a man can do is, just humbly to receive, and then go amongst others and give.

More quotes by David Livingstone
It is far easier to travel than to write about it.
David Livingstone
Nothing earthly will make me give up my work in despair.
David Livingstone
People talk of the sacrifice I have made in spending so much of my life in Africa. It is emphatically no sacrifice. Say rather it is a privilege.
David Livingstone
Providence seems to call me to the regions beyond
David Livingstone
All that I am I owe to Jesus Christ, revealed to me in His divine Book.
David Livingstone
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
There is one safe and happy place, and that is in the will of God.
David Livingstone
Death alone will put a stop to my effort!
David Livingstone
There is a Ruler above, and His Providence guides all things. He is our Friend and has plenty of work for all His people to do. It is such a blessing and a privilege to be led into His work instead of into the service of the hard taskmasters - the Devil and sin.
David Livingstone
I never made a sacrifice. Of this we ought not to talk when we remember the great sacrifice which he made who left His Father's throne on high to give Himself for us.
David Livingstone
I will place no value on anything I have or may possess except in relation to the kingdom of Christ.
David Livingstone
I'll go anywhere as long as it's forward.
David Livingstone
I'd rather be in the heart of Africa in the will of God, than on the throne of England, out of the will of God.
David Livingstone
Men are immortal till their work is done.
David Livingstone
I will try and remember always to approach God in secret with as much reverence in speech, posture, and behavior as in public. Help me, Thou who knowest my frame and pitiest as a father his children.
David Livingstone
Education has been given us from above for the purpose of bringing to the benighted the knowledge of the Saviour.
David Livingstone
Oh, that I could dedicate my all to God. This is all the return I can make Him.
David Livingstone
He who died for us, and Whom we ought to copy, did more for us than we can do for any one else. He endured the contradiction of sinners. We should have grace to follow in His steps.
David Livingstone
I have never ceased to rejoice that God has appointed me to such an office.
David Livingstone
.... the brisk exercise imparts elasticity to the muscles, fresh and healthy blood circulates through the brain, the mind works well, the eye is clear, the step is firm, and a day's exertion always makes the evening's repose thoroughly enjoyable.
David Livingstone
