All David Livingstone Quotes By William Kamkwamba

If it weren't for the great Scottish missionary David Livingstone, the Yao and Chewa might still be at odds today. Livingstone helped end slavery, opened Malawi to trade, and built good schools and missions. Young men became educated and earned money, and once these economic opportunities were available to all, our two tribes had little reason to fight. Today we consider the Yao our brothers and sisters. My — William Kamkwamba

All David Livingstone Quotes By David Livingstone

All David Livingstone Quotes By David Livingstone

Remember us in your prayers that we grow not weary in well doing. It is hard to work for years with pure motives, and all the time be looked upon by most of those to whom our lives are devoted as having some sinister object in view. Disinterested labor - benevolence - is so out of their line of thought, that many look upon us as having some ulterior object in view; but He who died for us, and Whom we ought to copy, did more for us than we can do for any one else. He endured the contradiction of sinners. We should have grace to follow in His steps. — David Livingstone

All David Livingstone Quotes By David Livingstone Smith

All David Livingstone Quotes By David Livingstone Smith

Before dehumanizing a population, we set them apart as a "race." That is, a variety of people who are fundamentally different from "us." The folk notion of race is very much an artificial construction. — David Livingstone Smith

All David Livingstone Quotes By David Livingstone

All David Livingstone Quotes By David Livingstone

Passing inside they looked towards the bed. Dr. Livingstone was not lying on it, but appeared to be engaged in prayer, and they instinctively drew backwards for the instant. Pointing to him, Majwara said, "When I lay down he was just as he is now, and it is because I find that he does not move that I fear he is dead." They asked the lad how long he had slept? Majwara said he could not tell, but he was sure that it was some considerable time: the men drew nearer. A candle stuck by its own wax to the top of the box, shed a light sufficient for them to see his form. Dr. Livingstone was kneeling by the side of his bed, his body stretched forward, his head buried in his hands upon the pillow. For a minute they watched him: he did not stir, there was no sign of breathing; then one of them, Matthew, advanced softly to him and placed his hands to his cheeks. It was sufficient; life had been extinct some time, and the body was almost cold: Livingstone was dead. — David Livingstone

All David Livingstone Quotes By David Livingstone

I will try and remember always to approach God in secret with as much reverence in speech, posture, and behavior as in public. Help me, Thou who knowest my frame and pitiest as a father his children. — David Livingstone

All David Livingstone Quotes By David Livingstone

I never made a sacrifice. Of this we ought not to talk when we remember the great sacrifice which he made who left His Father's throne on high to give Himself for us. — David Livingstone

All David Livingstone Quotes By Wilbur Smith

When David Livingstone discovered the Victoria Falls he said, "Sights such as these must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight,"' Hector told her softly. — Wilbur Smith

All David Livingstone Quotes By David Livingstone

Though there is antipathy in the human heart to the gospel of Christ, yet when Christians make their good work shine, all admire them. It is when great disparity exists between profession and practice that we secure the scorn of mankind. — David Livingstone

All David Livingstone Quotes By David Livingstone

I am a missionary, heart and soul. — David Livingstone

All David Livingstone Quotes By David Livingstone

All David Livingstone Quotes By David Livingstone

What a villain you are, to boast of killing women and children of your own nation! What will God say when you appear before him?" "He will say," replied he, "that I was a very clever fellow. — David Livingstone

All David Livingstone Quotes By Desmond Tutu

History, like beauty, depends largely on the beholder, so when you read that, for example, David Livingstone discovered the Victoria Falls, you might be forgiven for thinking that there was nobody around the Falls until Livingstone arrived on the scene. — Desmond Tutu

All David Livingstone Quotes By David Livingstone

For my own part, I have never ceased to rejoice that God has appointed me to such an office. People talk of the sacrifice I have made in spending so much of my life in Africa. Is that a sacrifice which brings its own blest reward in healthful activity, the consciousness of doing good, peace of mind, and a bright hope of a glorious destiny hereafter? Away with the word sacrifice. Say rather it is a privilege. Anxiety, sickness, suffering, or danger, now and then, with a foregoing of the common conveniences and charities of this life, may make us pause, and cause the spirit to waver, and the soul to sink; but let this only be for a moment. All these are nothing when compared with the glory which shall be revealed in and for us. I never made a sacrifice. — David Livingstone

All David Livingstone Quotes By David Livingstone

If you have men who will only come if they know there is a good road, I don't want them. I want men who will come if there is no road at all. — David Livingstone

All David Livingstone Quotes By David Livingstone

I am immortal till my work is accomplished — David Livingstone

All David Livingstone Quotes By David Livingstone Smith

Dehumanization isn't a way of talking. It's a way of thinking - a way of thinking that, sadly, comes all too easily to us. Dehumanization is a scourge, and has been so for millennia. It acts as a psychological lubricant, dissolving our inhibitions and inflaming our destructive passions. As such, it empowers us to perform acts that would, under other circumstances, be unthinkable. — David Livingstone Smith

All David Livingstone Quotes By David Livingstone

Death alone will put a stop to my effort! — David Livingstone

All David Livingstone Quotes By David Livingstone

Men are immortal till their work is done. — David Livingstone
