More quotes by David Livingstone
I have never ceased to rejoice that God has appointed me to such an office.
David Livingstone
It is hard to work for years with pure motives, and all the time be looked upon by most of those to whom our lives are devoted as having some sinister object in view.
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
Providence seems to call me to the regions beyond
David Livingstone
There is one safe and happy place, and that is in the will of God.
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

David Livingstone
Shall I tell you what supported me through all those years of exile among a people whose language I could not understand and whose attitude towards me we always uncertain and often hostile? It was this: Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.

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. If anything will advance the interests of that kingdom, it shall be given away or kept only in reference to whether giving or keeping will most promote the glory1 of him to whom I owe all my hopes in time and eternity.
David Livingstone
Nothing earthly will make me give up my work in despair.
David Livingstone
Oh, that I could dedicate my all to God. This is all the return I can make Him.
David Livingstone
I will place no value on anything I have or may possess except in relation to the kingdom of Christ.
David Livingstone
Death alone will put a stop to my effort!
David Livingstone
Fastings and vigils without a special object in view are time run to waste.
David Livingstone
Fear God and work hard.
David Livingstone
