Hudson Taylor
The real secret of an unsatisfied life lies too often in an unsurrendered will.
Hudson Taylor
We are not only to renounce evil, but to manifest the truth. We tell people the world is vain let our lives manifest that it is so. We tell them that our home is above and that all these things are transitory. Does our dwelling look like it? O to live consistent lives!
Hudson Taylor
As our Father makes many a flower to bloom unseen in the lonely desert, [let us] do all that we can do, as under God's eye, though no other eye ever take note of it.
Hudson Taylor
It is not so much the greatness of our troubles, as the littleness of our spirit, which makes us complain.
Hudson Taylor
All God's giants have been weak men who did great things for God because they reackoned on God being with them.
Hudson Taylor
When we work, we work. When we pray, God works.
Hudson Taylor
