More quotes by David Livingstone
Without Christ, not one step with Him, anywhere!
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.
David Livingstone
Death alone will put a stop to my effort!
David Livingstone
The islands above the falls are covered with foliage as beautiful as can be seen anywhere. Viewed from the mass of rock which overhangs the fall, the scenery was the loveliest I had seen.
David Livingstone
I have never ceased to rejoice that God has appointed me to such an office.
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
The best remedy for a sick church is to put it on a missionary diet.
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
Fastings and vigils without a special object in view are time run to waste.
David Livingstone
It is my desire to show my attachment to the cause of Him who died for me by devoting my life to His service.
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
Fear God and work hard.
David Livingstone
I'll go anywhere as long as it's forward.
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
Nothing earthly will make me give up my work in despair.
David Livingstone
It is far easier to travel than to write about it.
David Livingstone
If a commission by an earthly king is considered a honor, how can a commission by a Heavenly King be considered a sacrifice?
David Livingstone
I will place no value on anything I have or may possess except in relation to the kingdom of Christ.
David Livingstone
All I can say in my solitude is, May Heaven's rich blessing come down on every one - American, English, Turk - who will help to heal this open sore of the world.
David Livingstone
I am a missionary, heart and soul.
David Livingstone
