Pray till prayer makes you forget your own wish, and leave it or merge it in God's will.

Only so far as a man believes strongly, mightily, can he act cheerfully, or do anything that is worth doing.

There is a divine depth in silence. We meet God alone.

Only in the sacredness of inward silence does the soul truly meet the secret, hiding God. The strength of resolve, which afterward shapes life, and mixes itself with action, is the fruit of those sacred, solitary moments. There is a divine depth in silence. We meet God alone.

That prayer which does not succeed in moderating our wishes--in changing the passionate desire into still submission, the anxious, tumultuous expectation into silent surrender--is no true prayer, and proves that we have not the spirit of true prayer.

That friend, given to you by circumstances over which you have not control, was God's own gift.

Kindly words, sympathizing attentions, watchfulness against wounding men's sensitiveness-these cost very little, but they are priceless in their value.
