Prayer is not asking. Prayer is putting oneself in the hands of God, at His disposition, and listening to His voice in the depth of our hearts.

Listen with ears of tolerance, see through the eyes of compassion, speak with language of love.

An inability to stay quiet . . . is one of the most conspicuous failings of mankind.

Never miss a good chance to shut up.

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow! Praise Him, all creatures here below! Praise Him above, ye heavenly host! Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!

Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

If you have no time for prayer and meditation, you will have lots of time for sickness and trouble.

When the world pushes you to your knees, you’re in the perfect position to pray.

My prayer is that when I die, all hell rejoices that I am out of the fight.

Appreciation is the highest form of prayer, for it acknowledges the presence of good wherever you shine the light of your thankful thoughts.

Give us grace and strength to forbear and to persevere. Give us courage and gaiety and the quiet mind, spare to us our friends, soften to us our enemies.
