The greatest thing anyone can do for God and for man is to pray. You can do more than pray after you have prayed, but you cannot do more than pray until you have prayed. Prayer is striking the winning blow ... service is gathering up the results.

The way from God to a human heart is through a human heart.

Prayer wonderfully clears the vision; steadies the nerves; defines duty; stiffens the purpose; sweetens and strengthens the spirit.

Shoes divide men into three classes. Some men wear their father's shoes. They make no decisions of their own. Some are unthinkingly shod by the crowd. The strong man is his own cobbler. He insists on making his own choices. He walks in his own shoes.

Easter spells out beauty, the rare beauty of new life.

One should never initiate anything that he cannot saturate with prayer.

Prayer is partnership with God in His planet-sized purposes, and includes the "all things" beside, as an important detail of the whole.
