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

We regard prayer no longer as a duty which must be performed, but rather as a privilege which is to be enjoyed, a rare delight that is always revealing some new beauty.

Look in the perfumes of flowers and of nature for peace of mind and joy of life.
