More quotes by David Livingstone

David Livingstone
May the time come when rich men and great men would think it an honor to support whole stations of missionaries in Africa, instead of spending their money on hounds and horses.
David Livingstone
Men are immortal till their work is done.
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
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
All that I am I owe to Jesus Christ, revealed to me in His divine Book.
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
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 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
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
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
Education has been given us from above for the purpose of bringing to the benighted the knowledge of the Saviour.
David Livingstone
Though there is antipathy in the human heart to the gospel of Christ, yet when Christians make their good work shine, all admire them. It is when great disparity exists between profession and practice that we secure the scorn of mankind.
David Livingstone
Creeping with awe to the verge, I peered down into a large rent which had been made from bank to bank of the broad Zambezi, and saw that a stream of a thousand yards broad leaped down a hundred feet [30 m] and then became suddenly compressed into a space of fifteen to twenty yards.
David Livingstone
There is one safe and happy place, and that is in the will of God.
David Livingstone
Nothing earthly will make me give up my work in despair.
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
