There are three persons living in each of us: the one we think we are, the one other people think we are, and the one God knows we are!

Life begets life by its very nature. By the same token, inspired men inspire.

Could a mariner sit idle if he heard the drowning cry? Could a doctor sit in comfort and just let his patients die? Could a fireman sit idle, let men burn and give no hand? Can you sit at ease in Zion with the world around you damned?

Books on prayer are good, but not good enough. As books on cooking are good but hopeless unless there is food to work on, so with prayer. One can read a library of prayer books and not be one whit more powerful in prayer. We must learn to pray, and we must pray to learn to pray.

Prayer is not a preparation for the battle; it is the battle!
