Prayer thrives in the atmosphere of true devotion.

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

Life is often confusing and sad, and I'm a big fan of the slap and the tickle, as they say.

Morality represents for everybody a thoroughly definite and ascertained idea: the idea of human conduct regulated in a certain manner.

As an improvising musician, I am not in the music business, I am not in the creativity business; I am in the surrender business.

I love Alexander Wang!

Without labor there is no rest, nor without fighting can the victory be won.

All men have equal rights to liberty, to their property, and to the protection of the laws
