• Reason sits firm and holds the reins, and she will not let the feelings burst away and hurry her to wild chasms. The passions may rage furiously, like true heathens, as they are; and the desires may imagine all sorts of vain things: but judgment shall still have the last word in every argument, and the casting vote in every decision. Strong wind, earthquake-shock, and fire may pass by: but I shall follow the guiding of that still small voice which interprets the dictates of conscience.

• Cuando salí de Inglaterra, mi esperanza de la conversión de la India era muy fuerte; pero entre tantos obstáculos, moriría, a menos que fuera sostenida por Dios. Pues bien, tengo a Dios, y Su Palabra es verdadera. Aunque las supersticiones de los paganos fueran mil veces más fuertes de lo que son, y el ejemplo de los europeos mil veces peor; aunque yo fuera abandonado por todos y perseguido por todos, mi fe, fija en la Palabra segura, se elevaría por encima de todos los obstáculos y superaría todas las pruebas. La causa de Dios triunfará. (William Carey, citado en Iain Murray, The Puritan Hope, Banner of Truth 1971, p 140.)
