Men would pray better if they lived better. They would get more from God if they lived more obedient and well-pleasing to God.

The men who have done the most for God in this world have been early on their knees.

No insistence in the Scripture is more pressing than that we must pray...How clear it is, when the Bible is consulted, that the almighty God is brought directly into the things of this world by the prayers of His people.

The Church is looking for better methods; God is looking for better men.

Straight praying is never born of crooked conduct.

The men who have most fully illustrated Christ in their character and have most powerfully affected the world for Him have been men who spend so much time with God as to make it a notable feature in their lives.

Prayer breaks all bars, dissolves all chains, opens all prisons, and widens all straits by which God's saints have been held.
