David Livingstone
Image
I'll go anywhere as long as it's forward.
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
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
.... 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
Image
Nothing earthly will make me give up my work in despair.
David Livingstone
Image
It is my desire to show my attachment to the cause of Him who died for me by devoting my life to His service.
