More quotes by William Carey
I'm not afraid of failure I'm afraid of succeeding at things that don't matter.
William Carey
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
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.
William Carey
The less said about me the better.
William Carey
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
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
I went to India as a missionary to save England from spiritual collapse.
William Carey
All my friends are but one, but He is all sufficient.
William Carey
Every Christian should live life with an open Bible and an open map.
William Carey
One of the first, and most important of those duties which are incumbent upon us, is fervent and united prayer.
William Carey
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
Those who would be employed in propagating the Gospel should be familiar with the doctrines he is to combat and the doctrines he is to teach, and acquire a complete knowledge both of the Sacred Scriptures and of these philosophical and mythological dogmas which form the souls of the Buddhist and Hindu Systems.
William Carey
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
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
A Christian minister is a person who in a peculiar sense is not his own he is the servant of God, and therefore ought to be wholly devoted to Him.
William Carey
Is not the commission of our Lord still binding upon us? Can we not do more than now we are doing?
William Carey
Prayer - secret, fervent, believing prayer - lies at the root of all personal godliness.
William Carey
To belong to Jesus is to embrace the nations with Him.
William Carey
There are grave difficulties on every hand, and more are looming ahead. Therefore, we must go forward.
William Carey
...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
