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.

More quotes by David Livingstone
Providence seems to call me to the regions beyond
David Livingstone
It is far easier to travel than to write about it.
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
Without Christ, not one step with Him, anywhere!
David Livingstone
The best remedy for a sick church is to put it on a missionary diet.
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
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
Fear God and work hard.
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
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
I am a missionary, heart and soul.
David Livingstone
I'll go anywhere as long as it's forward.
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
I will place no value on anything I have or may possess except in relation to the kingdom of Christ.
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
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
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
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
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
Death alone will put a stop to my effort!
David Livingstone
