God shapes the world by prayer. The prayers of God's saints are the capitol stock of heaven by which God carries on His great work upon the earth.

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

Little praying is a kind of make believe, a salve for the conscience, a farce and a delusion.

Prayer makes a godly man, and puts within him "the mind of Christ," the mind of humility, of self-surrender, of service, of pity, and of prayer. If we really pray, we will become more like God, or else we will quit praying.

If God is not first in our thoughts and efforts in the morning, He will be in the last place the remainder of the day.

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

A severe apprenticeship in the trade of praying must be served in order to become a journeyman in it.
