Quote

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.

Without justification salvation is not of grace, but of works.
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
All my friends are but one, but He is all sufficient.
William Carey
Image
I will venture to go... but remember that you must hold the ropes.

Image
Is not the commission of our Lord still binding upon us? Can we not do more than now we are doing?
William Carey
Image
I'm not afraid of failure I'm afraid of succeeding at things that don't matter.

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

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, attempt great things for God.
William Carey
Image
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
Image
Surely it is worthwhile to lay ourselves out with all our might in promoting the cause and kingdom of Christ.
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
To belong to Jesus is to embrace the nations with Him.
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
Prayer - secret, fervent, believing prayer - lies at the root of all personal godliness.
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.
