The men who have done the most for God in this world have been early on their knees. He who fritters away the early morning, its opportunity and freshness, in other pursuits than seeking God will make poor headway seeking Him the rest of the day. 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.

He only can truly pray who is all aglow for holiness, for God, and for heaven.

Every mighty move of the Spirit of God has had its source in the prayer chamber.

The men who have most fully illustrated Christ in their character and have most powerfully affected the world for Him have been men who spend so much time with God as to make it a notable feature in their lives.

We can never know God as it is our privilege to know Him by brief repetitions that are requests for personal favors, and nothing more.

The pride of learning is against the dependent humility of prayer.

That man is the most immortal who has done the most and the best praying. They are God heroes, God's saints, God's servants, God's vicegerents.
