Quote

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.

More quotes by 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
One of the first, and most important of those duties which are incumbent upon us, is fervent and united prayer.
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
Expect great things from God, attempt great things for God.
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
The most glorious works of grace that have ever took place, have been in answer to prayer and it is in this way, we have the greatest reason to suppose, that the glorious out-pouring of the Spirit, which we expect at last, will be bestowed.
William Carey
Image
I feel it my duty to plod on while daylight last.

Image
All my friends are but one, but He is all sufficient.
William Carey

The less said about me the better.

Every Christian should live life with an open Bible and an open map.
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
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
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
It is the duty of those who are entrusted with the Gospel to endeavor to make it known among all nations.
William Carey
Image
To belong to Jesus is to embrace the nations with Him.
William Carey
Image
Expect great things from God, receive great things from God. Expect little from God, receive little from God.
William Carey
Image
Prayer - secret, fervent, believing prayer - lies at the root of all personal godliness.
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.

William Carey chides his countrymen for deciding it would be impossible for the Gospel to travel over great distances and to penetrate varied cultures when they are willing to face the same trials for the sake of commerce.
