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

None can believe how powerful prayer is, and what it is able to effect, but those who have learned it by experience.

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

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

Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.

Four steps to achievement: Plan purposefully. Prepare prayerfully. Proceed positively. Pursue persistently.

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

I always love to begin a journey on Sundays, because I shall have the prayers of the church to preserve all that travel by land, or by water.

The fewer the words, the better the prayer.

In wilderness is the preservation of the world.

It is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.

People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own souls.

For one wild, glad moment we snapped the chain that binds us to earth, and joining hands with the winds we felt ourselves divine.

You may shoot me with your words, you may cut me with your eyes, you may kill me with your hatefulness, but still, like air, I'll rise.

Nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul.

The clearest way in the Universe is through a forest wilderness.

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.
