Knowledge without repentance will be but a torch to light men to hell.

Sin has the devil for its father, shame for its companion, and death for its wages.

Prayer delights God's ear; it melts His heart; and opens His hand. God cannot deny a praying soul.

The right manner of growth is to grow less in one's own eyes.

Prayer as it comes from the saint is weak and languid; but when the arrow of a saint's prayer is put into the bow of Christ's intercession it pierces the throne of grace.

A spiritual prayer is a humble prayer. Prayer is the asking of an alms, which requires humility... The lower the heart descends, the higher the prayer ascends.

The prayer that is faithless is fruitless.
