Heaven is too busy to listen to half-hearted prayers or to respond to pop-calls.

Four things let us ever keep in mind: God hears prayer, God heeds prayer, God answers prayer, and God delivers by prayer.

All God's plans have the mark of the cross on them, and all His plans have death to self in them.

He who is too busy to pray will be too busy to live a holy life. Satan had rather we let the grass grow on the path to our prayer chamber than anything else.

It is necessary to iterate and reiterate that prayer, as a mere habit, as a performance gone through by routine or in a professional way, is a dead and rotten thing.

Prayer honors God, acknowledges His being, exalts His power, adores His providence, secures His aid.

Prayer succeeds when all else fails

If God is not first in our thoughts and efforts in the morning, He will be in the last place the remainder of the day.

God shapes the world by prayer. The more prayer there is in the world the better the world will be, the mightier the forces of against evil

Clarity in language depends on clarity in thought.

I'm constantly being influenced by the soul that's directly in front of me.

Aske much to have a little.

I don't fancy myself a political commentator. I hate politics. I hate it.

If I collaborate with people, ideas...they take interesting turns and twists, and I'm excited for that and that process and excited to see what we come up with.

I read because one of these days I'm going to get out of this town, and I'm going to go everywhere and meet everybody, and I want to be ready

Sympathy feels like a performative word, whereas empathy is human.
