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

Crucified preaching only can give life. Crucified preaching can come only from a crucified man.

Prayer in Jesus' name puts the crowning crown on God, because it glorifies Him through the Son and it pledges the Son to give to men 'whatsoever and anything' they shall ask.

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

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

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

Praying that does not result in right thinking and right living is a farce. We have missed the whole office of prayer if it fails to purge our character and correct conduct. We have failed entirely to understand the virtue of prayer, if it does not bring about the revolutionizing of life. In the very nature of tings, we must either quit praying or quit our bad conduct.
