Faith, and hope, and patience and all the strong, beautiful, vital forces of piety are withered and dead in a prayerless life. The life of the individual believer, his personal salvation, and personal Christian graces have their being, bloom, and fruitage in prayer.

We can learn more in an hour praying, when praying indeed, than from many hours of rigorous study.

Prayer puts God's work in his hands-and keeps it there.

A holy life does not live in the closet, but it cannot live without the closet.

God requires to be represented by a fiery Church... two things are intolerable to Him-insincerity and lukewarmness.

The little estimate we put on prayer is evidence from the little time we give to it.

Holy living is essential preparation for prayer.
