Prayer is not a means by which I seek to control God; it is a means of putting myself in a position where God can control me.

As I go about I see a lot of "coffin" men. They have room for themselves and nobody else.

Some people's measure of success is how much they can grab hold of and hold on to.

We have now well established the fact in our own nation that one can do more work in six days, even in five, than in seven. A run-down person is an unproductive person.

When you decide clearly and definitely what you want, then no sacrifice is too great as you put all of your powers into astounding results.

It seems to be a general belief that the will of God is to make things distasteful for us, like taking bad-tasting medicine when we are sick, or going to the dentist. Somebody needs to tell us that the sunrise is also God's will. There is the time of harvest, the harvest which will provide food and clothes for us, without which life could not be sustained on earth. God ordered the seasons-they are his will. In fact, the good things in life far outweigh the bad. There are more sunrises than cyclones.

Actually no person owns anything. All belongs to God, but while man is on earth he has the God-given right of possession.
