David Livingstone quotes about
This is still pretty new and I haven't seen retailer results. But if it was a really successful program, more retailers would open them and the larger players would open a lot more.
It's pretty standard for a new CEO to clean house,
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 am immortal till my work is accomplished
Christ alone can save the world, but Christ cannot save the world alone.
Death alone will put a stop to my effort!
Sympathy is no substitute for action.
It is my desire to show my attachment to the cause of Him who died for me by devoting my life to His service.
This generation can only reach this generation.
Cannot the love of Christ carry the missionary where the slave-trade carries the trader? I shall open up a path to the interior or perish.
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.
