You can't pray a lie—I found that out.

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

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

The fewer the words, the better the prayer.

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

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.

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

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

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!

There are very few human beings who receive the truth, complete and staggering, by instant illumination. Most of them acquire it fragment by fragment, on a small scale, by successive developments, cellularly, like a laborious mosaic.

If you cannot be honest with yourself, there is no hope of being honest with anyone else.

Never tell the truth to people who are not worthy of it.

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute.

Re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul; and your very flesh shall be a great poem, and have the richest fluency, not only in its words, but in the silent lines of its lips and face, and between the lashes of your eyes, and in every motion and joint of your body.

Only in men's imagination does every truth find an effective and undeniable existence. Imagination, not invention, is the supreme master of art as of life.

If you compromise your own conscience, you will weaken your conscience. Soon your conscience will fail to guide you and you never will have real wealth based on peace of mind.

History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.

Always go too far, because that’s where you’ll find the truth.

If most of us remain ignorant of ourselves, it is because self-knowledge is painful and we prefer the pleasures of illusion.
