Won Not By Ease or Quiet – Hudson Taylor
China is not to be won for Christ by quiet, ease—loving men and women. … The stamp of men and women we need is such as will put Jesus, China, souls, first and foremost in everything and at every time—even life itself must be secondary.
– Hudson Taylor –
missionary to China (1832-1905)
Co-Workers with Jesus Christ – Lottie Moon
Should we not press it home upon our consciences that the sole object of our conversion was not the salvation of our own souls, but that we might become co-workers with our Lord and Master in the conversion of the world?
– Lottie Moon –
missionary to China (1840-1912)
Urgency in Evangelism – William Booth
Can we go too fast in saving souls? If anyone still wants a reply, let him ask the lost souls in Hell.

Preach To Yourself – Charles Spurgeon
The preacher who neglects to preach to himself has forgotten a very important part of his audience. We must first address our own soul. If we can move that by the words we may utter, we may hope to have some power with the souls of others.
– Charles Spurgeon –
The Law of Prayer – Leonard Ravenhill
The law of prayer is the law of harvest: sow sparingly in prayer, reap sparingly; sow bountifully in prayer, reap bountifully. The trouble is we are trying to get from our efforts what we never put into them.
– Leonard Ravenhill –
Change the World – Eric Ludy
We are called to change the world, not be changed by the world.
