David Livingstone
Nothing earthly will make me give up my work in despair.
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
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 will place no value on anything I have or may possess except in relation to the kingdom of Christ.
David Livingstone
There is one safe and happy place, and that is in the will of God.
David Livingstone

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

David Livingstone

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
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
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
Without Christ, not one step with Him, anywhere!
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
Fear God and work hard.
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
Fastings and vigils without a special object in view are time run to waste.
David Livingstone
