There is no way of learning to pray but by praying. No reasoned philosophy of prayer ever taught a soul to pray. We know not what we should pray for as we ought, and if prayer waits for understanding it will never begin. We discover by using. We learn by practice. Though a man should have all knowledge about prayer, and though he should understand all mysteries about prayer, unless he prays he will never learn to pray.

The world will never believe in a religion in which there is no power.

A gift without a heart behind it is a bribe. God asks for our heart, not our gifts.

Communion is deeper than theology.

Praying solves the problems of prayer.

The soul's safety is in its heat. Truth without enthusiasm, morality without emotion, ritual without soul, make for a Church without power. Destitute of the Fire of God, nothing else counts; possessing Fire, nothing else matters.

It is wonderful what God can do with a broken heart, if He gets all the pieces.
