Prayer - secret, fervent, believing prayer - lies at the root of all personal godliness.
William Carey
Image
To belong to Jesus is to embrace the nations with Him.
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
There are grave difficulties on every hand, and more are looming ahead. Therefore, we must go forward.
William Carey
Image
Every Christian should live life with an open Bible and an open map.
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.
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
I'm not afraid of failure I'm afraid of succeeding at things that don't matter.
William Carey
Image
Without justification salvation is not of grace, but of works.
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
It is the duty of those who are entrusted with the Gospel to endeavor to make it known among all nations.
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
Expect great things from God, attempt great things for God.
William Carey
Image
One of the first, and most important of those duties which are incumbent upon us, is fervent and united prayer.
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
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
Image
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
The most glorious works of grace that have ever took place, have been in answer to prayer.
William Carey
Image
The future is as bright as the promise of God.
William Carey
Image
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.
