. . . every preacher who does not make prayer a mighty factor in his own life and ministry is weak as a factor in God's work and is powerless to project God's cause in this world.

We can do nothing without prayer. All things can be done by importunate prayer. That is the teaching of Jesus Christ

We can never expect to grow in the likeness of our Lord unless we follow His example and give more time to communion with the Father. A revival of real praying would produce a spiritual revolution.

No learning can make up for the failure to pray. No earnestness, no diligence, no study, no gifts will supply its lack.

Prayer is the easiest and hardest of all things; the simplest and the sublimest; the weakest and the most powerful; its results lie outside the range of human possibilities-they are limited only by the omnipotence of God.

In doing God's work, there is no substitute for praying. The men of prayer cannot be displaced with other kinds of men.

A man can pray better because of the prayers of the past; a man can live holier because of the prayers of the past; the man of many and acceptable prayers has done the truest and greatest service to the incoming generation.
