More quotes by David Livingstone

Image
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
Image
All that I am I owe to Jesus Christ, revealed to me in His divine Book.
David Livingstone
Image
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
Image
Men are immortal till their work is done.
David Livingstone
Image
I will go anywhere, provided it is forward.
David Livingstone
Image
Fear God and work hard.
David Livingstone
Image
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
Image
Death alone will put a stop to my effort!
David Livingstone
Image
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
Image
There is one safe and happy place, and that is in the will of God.
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
Image
I have found that I have no unusual endowments of intellect, but this day I resolve that I will be an uncommon Christian.
David Livingstone
Image
I have never ceased to rejoice that God has appointed me to such an office.
David Livingstone
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I am a missionary, heart and soul.
David Livingstone
Image
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.
David Livingstone
Image
It is far easier to travel than to write about it.
David Livingstone
Image
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
