Scottish missionary, explorer. He extensively explored central Africa and exercised a formative influence upon Western attitudes toward Africa.

 
All that I am I owe to Jesus Christ, 
revealed to me in His divine Book.

---

I will place no value on anything I have 
or may possess except in relation 
to the kingdom of Christ.

---

 Nothing earthly will make me 
give up my work in despair.

---

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.

---

I determined never to stop until I had come 
to the end and achieved my purpose.

---

I will go anywhere, as long as it be forward.

---

Fear God and work hard.
