A gift without a heart behind it is a bribe. God asks for our heart, not our gifts.

It is wonderful what God can do with a broken heart, if He gets all the pieces.

Prayer turns ordinary mortals into men of power. It brings power. It brings fire. It brings rain. It brings life. It brings God.

Satan laughs at our toil, mocks at our wisdom, but trembles when we pray.

It takes us long to learn that prayer is more important than organization, more powerful than armies, more influential than wealth and mightier than all learning.

There is no better way to serve others than to pray for them. There is nothing about which I do not pray. I go over all my life in the presence of God. All my problems are solved there.

The root-trouble of the present distress is that the Church has more faith in the world and the flesh than in the Holy Ghost.

True prayer is a lonely business.

A season of silence is the best preparation for speech with God.

Confusion and impotence are the inevitable results when the wisdom and resources of the world are substituted for the presence and power of the Spirit.

The Church gives more time, thought, and money to recreation and sport than to prayer.

What we believe is a matter of choice provided we have control over our thoughts. It’s no less than living in bliss with each passing moment when you can see your thoughts flowing in apt directions.

Be you, love you. All ways, always.

Objectivity begins with the realization that one is subjective.

Great things are accomplished by talented people who believe they will accomplish them.

Environments are the messages before the message.

The spiritual journey is what the soul is up to while we attend to daily living.

Nothing is difficult to mortals; we strive to reach heaven itself in our folly. [Lat., Nil mortalibus arduum est; Coelum ipsum petimus stultitia.]

We belong to each other.

You need people around you who will tell you the truth and not hold anything back.

My teacher said I would either be a hoodlum, or a great entertainer.
