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" was a Scottish Congregational church/Congregationalist pioneer medical missionary with the London Missionary Society and an List of explorers/explorer in Africa. His meeting with Henry Morton Stanley/H. M. Stanley on 10 November 1871 gave rise to the popular quotation "Dr. Livingstone, I presume?" Perhaps one of the most popular national heroes of the late 19th century in Victorian era/Victorian Britain, Livingstone had a mythic status, which operated on a number of interconnected levels: Protestant missionary martyr, working-class "rags to riches" inspirational story, scientific investigator and explorer, imperial reformer, anti-slavery crusader, and advocate of commercial empire. His fame as an explorer helped drive forward the obsession with discovering the sources of the River Nile that formed the culmination of the classic period of European geographical discovery and colonial penetration of the African continent.

I'll go anywhere as long as it's forward.
Nothing earthly will make me give up my work in despair.
I will go anywhere, provided it is forward.
Fear God and work hard.
I will place no value on anything I have or may possess except in relation to the kingdom of Christ.
I determined never to stop until I had come to the end and achieved my purpose.
All that I am I owe to Jesus Christ, revealed to me in His divine Book.
