"Could a mariner sit idle if he heard the drowning cry? Could a doctor sit in comfort and just let his patients die? Could a fireman sit idle, let men burn and give no hand? Can you sit at ease in Zion, with the whole world around you damned?"

to gain what he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot
"You wonder why people choose fields away from the States when young people at home are drifting because no one wants to take time to listen to their problems. Ill tell you why I left. Because those Stateside young people have every opportunity to study, hear, and understand the Word of God in their own language, and these Indians have no opportunity whatsoever. I have had to make a cross of two logs, and lie down on it, to show the Indians what it means to crucify a man. When there is that much ignorance over here and so much knowledge and opportunity over there, I have no question in my mind why God sent me here. Those whimpering Stateside young people will wake up on the Day of Judgment condemned to worse fates than these demon-fearing Indians, because, having a Bible, they were bored with it---while these never heard of such a thing as writing."
- Jim Elliot

By Amy Carmichael
"Give me the love that leads the way,
The faith that nothing can dismay,
The hope no disappointments tire,
The passion that will burn like fire,
Let me not sink to be a clod,
make me thy fuel, flame of God."- Amy Carmichael
By Samuel Johnson
"The chains of habit are, in general,
too small to be felt till they are too strong to be broken"

"The measure of a man's life is the well spending of it,
and not the length." - Anonymous
By Richard Baxter
“A foolish physician he is, and a most unfaithful friend, that will let a sick man die for fear of troubling him; and cruel wretches are we to our friends, that will rather suffer them to go quietly to hell, then we will anger them, or hazard our reputation with them.” – Richard Baxter
"Christ leads me through no darker rooms
Than He went through before." -Richard Baxter
Idleness is the devil's home for temptation,
and for unprofitable, distracting musings;
while labor profiteth others and ourselves."
-Richard Baxter
By R.C. Ryle
"The very familiarity of blessings
sometimes makes us insensible to their value."
~ J. C. Ryle
John Bunyan
"Zeal without knowledge is like a mettled horse without eyes, or like a sword in a madman's hand; and there is no knowledge where there is not the word: for if they reject the word of the Lord, and act not by that, 'What wisdom is in them?' saith the prophet (Jer 8:9; Isa 8:20)."
~ John Bunyan
