More quotes by William Carey
The future is as bright as the promise of God.
William Carey
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
I went to India as a missionary to save England from spiritual collapse.
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
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
Every Christian should live life with an open Bible and an open map.
William Carey
To belong to Jesus is to embrace the nations with Him.
William Carey
I feel it my duty to plod on while daylight last.
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
To know the will of God, we need an open Bible and an open map.
William Carey
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.
William Carey
There are grave difficulties on every hand, and more are looming ahead. Therefore, we must go forward.
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
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
Surely it is worthwhile to lay ourselves out with all our might in promoting the cause and kingdom of Christ.
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
I can plod. I can persevere in any definite pursuit. To this I owe everything.
William Carey
One of the first, and most important of those duties which are incumbent upon us, is fervent and united prayer.
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
