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.

More quotes by 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
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
Fastings and vigils without a special object in view are time run to waste.
David Livingstone
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
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
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
Without Christ, not one step with Him, anywhere!
David Livingstone
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
Oh, that I could dedicate my all to God. This is all the return I can make Him.
David Livingstone
I am a missionary, heart and soul.
David Livingstone
There is one safe and happy place, and that is in the will of God.
David Livingstone
Fear God and work hard.
David Livingstone
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
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
It is far easier to travel than to write about it.
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 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
The best remedy for a sick church is to put it on a missionary diet.
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.
