“Forbid that we should ever consider the holding of a commission from the King of Kings a sacrifice,so long as other men esteem the service of an earthly government as an honor. I am a missionary, heart and soul. God Himself had only Son, and He was a missionary and a physician. A poor, poor imitation I am, or wish to be, but in this service I hope to live. In it I wish to die. I still prefer poverty and missions service to riches and ease. This is my choice.”

- David Livingston

“He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.”

“I want Thy plan O God, for my life. May I be happy and contented whether in homeland or on the foreign field; whether married or alone, in happiness or sorrow, health or sickness, prosperity or adversity – I want Thy plan, O God, for my life. I want it; oh, I want it!”

- Oswald Smith

“Let my heart be broken by the things that break the heart of God.”
