Prayer is not learned in a classroom but in the closet.

Private place and plenty of time are the life of prayer.

God shapes the world by prayer. Prayers are deathless. They outlive the lives of those who uttered them.

Mans access in prayer to God opens everything and makes his impoverishment his wealth. All things are his through prayer.

The sanctity of prayer is needed to impregnate business. We need the spirit of Sunday carried over to Monday and continued until Saturday. But this cannot be done by prayerless men, but by men of prayer.

We can do nothing without prayer. All things can be done by importunate prayer. It surmounts or removes all obstacles, overcomes every resisting force and gains its ends in the face of invincible hindrances.

What the Church needs to-day is not more machinery or better, not new organizations or more and novel methods, but men whom the Holy Ghost can use men of prayer, men mighty in prayer. The Holy Ghost does not flow through methods, but through men. He does not come on machinery, but on men. He does not anoint plans, but men, men of prayer.
