I'm a dreamer and continue to dream of what can and will be, Expecting great things from God, Attempting great things for God
William Carey
Image
Surely it is worthwhile to lay ourselves out with all our might in promoting the cause and kingdom of Christ.
William Carey
Image
If the biographer gives me credit for being a plodder, he will describe me justly. Anything beyond this will be too much. I can plod. I can persevere in any definite pursuit. To this I owe everything.
William Carey
Image
You have been saying much about Dr. Carey and his work. When I am gone, say nothing about Dr. Carey speak about Dr. Carey's Saviour.
William Carey
Image
Expect great things from God, receive great things from God. Expect little from God, receive little from God.
William Carey
Image
I was once young and now I am old, but not once have I been witness to God's failure to supply my need when first I had given for the furtherance of His work. He has never failed in His promise, so I cannot fail in my service to Him.

We must not be contented however with praying, without exerting ourselves in the use of means for the obtaining of those things we pray for.
William Carey
Image
Add to this occasional journeys, ministers’ meetings, etc., and you will rather wonder that I have any time, than that I have so little. I am not my own, nor would I choose for myself. Let God employ me where he thinks fit, and give me patience and discretion to fill up my station to his honour and glory.
William Carey
Image
...even on the low ground of common sense I seemed to be called to be a missionary. Is the kingdom a harvest field? Then I thought it reasonable that I should seek to work where the work was most abundant and the workers fewest.
William Carey
Image
I am very defective in all duties... In prayer I wander and am formal... I soon tire devotion languishes and I do not walk with God.
William Carey
Image
All my friends are but one, but He is all sufficient.
William Carey
Image
I went to India as a missionary to save England from spiritual collapse.
William Carey
Image
If you want the Kingdom speeded, go out and speed it yourselves. Only obedience rationalizes prayer. Only Missions can redeem your intercessions from insincerity.
William Carey
Image
It is the duty of those who are entrusted with the Gospel to endeavor to make it known among all nations.
William Carey
Image
We have only to keep the end in view, and have our hearts thoroughly engaged in the pursuit of it, and means will not be very difficult.
William Carey
Image
Is not the commission of our Lord still binding upon us? Can we not do more than now we are doing?
William Carey

To know the will of God, we need an open Bible and an open map.
