38 Quotes by Charles Studd

True religion is like the smallpox. If you get it, you give it to others and it spreads.

The light that shines farthest shines brightest nearest home.

Had I cared for the comments of people, I should never have been a missionary.

Christ wants not nibblers of the possible, but grabbers of the impossible.

How little chance the Holy Ghost has nowadays. The churches and missionary societies have so bound Him in red tape that they practically ask Him to sit in a corner while they do the work themselves.

Only one life, ’twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last.

If Jesus Christ be God and died for me, then no sacrifice can be too great for me to make for Him.

Let us not glide through this world and then slip quietly into heaven, without having blown the trumpet loud and long for our Redeemer, Jesus Christ. Let us see to it that the devil will hold a thanksgiving service in hell, when he gets the news of our departure from the field of battle.

The “romance” of a missionary is often made up of monotony and drudgery; there often is no glamour in it; it doesn’t stir a man’s spirit or blood. So don’t come out to be a missionary as an experiment; it is useless and dangerous. Only come if you feel you would rather die than not come. Don’t come if you want to make a great name or want to live long. Come if you feel there is no greater honor, after living for Christ, than to die for Him.
