Adoniram Judson

There is no success without sacrifice. If you succeed without sacrifice it is because someone has suffered before you. If you sacrifice without success it is because someone will succeed after.

I am not tired of my work, neither am I tired of the world; yet, when Christ calls me home, I shall go with gladness.

God answers all true prayer, either in kind or in kindness.

If I had not felt certain that every additional trial was ordered by infinite love and mercy, I could not have survived my accumulated suffering.

I never realized what a great privilege it is to be able to use the voice for Christ until I was deprived of it.

The course that I have uniformly pursued, ever since I became a missionary, has been rather peculiar. In order to become an acceptable and eloquent preacher in a foreign language, I deliberately abjured my own. When I crossed the river, I burnt my ships.

Our prayers run along one road and God's answers by another, and by and by they meet.

My prospects for life, though in a measure shaded with uncertainty, hardship and danger, are very animating and bright. My prospects for another life, blessed be God, are still brighter.
