God will do nothing but in answer to prayer.

[When I die] if I leave behind me ten pounds...you and all mankind [may] bear witness against me, that I have lived and died a thief and a robber.

Give me one hundred preachers who fear nothing but sin and desire nothing but God, and I care not whether they be clergymen or laymen, they alone will shake the gates of Hell and set up the kingdom of Heaven upon Earth.

God does nothing but by prayer, and everything with it.

Beware, lastly, of imagining you shall obtain the end without using the means conducive to it.

Passion and prejudice govern the world; only under the name of reason.

I am never in a hurry, because I never undertake more work than I can go through with perfect calmness of spirit.
