A Christian will part with anything rather than his hope; he knows that hope will keep the heart both from aching and breaking, from fainting and sinking; he knows that hope is a beam of God, a spark of glory, and that nothing shall extinguish it till the soul be filled with glory.
Thomas BrooksLook, as a painted man is no man, and as painted fire is no fire, so a cold prayer is no prayer.
