“Some of the brethren do not hesitate to tell the natives that my object is to obtain the applause of men. This bothers me, for I sometimes suspect my own motives.
Man is a complex being and we greatly need our motives to be purified from all that is evil.
On the other hand I am conscious that though there is much impurity in my motives, they are in the main for the glory of Him to whom I have dedicated my all.”
David Livingstone, missionary and explorer of Africa
