The most important lesson we can learn is how to pray. Prayers do not die, prayers live before God, and God's heart is set on them.

Four things let us ever keep in mind: God hears prayer, God heeds prayer, God answers prayer, and God delivers by prayer.

All God's plans have the mark of the cross on them, and all His plans have death to self in them.

He who is too busy to pray will be too busy to live a holy life. Satan had rather we let the grass grow on the path to our prayer chamber than anything else.

It is necessary to iterate and reiterate that prayer, as a mere habit, as a performance gone through by routine or in a professional way, is a dead and rotten thing.

Prayer honors God, acknowledges His being, exalts His power, adores His providence, secures His aid.

Prayer succeeds when all else fails

If God is not first in our thoughts and efforts in the morning, He will be in the last place the remainder of the day.

God shapes the world by prayer. The more prayer there is in the world the better the world will be, the mightier the forces of against evil

Prayer is not learned in a classroom but in the closet.

We regard prayer no longer as a duty which must be performed, but rather as a privilege which is to be enjoyed, a rare delight that is always revealing some new beauty.

Sometimes in life, as in literature, people get their just desserts. The greedy man loses everything because he cannot resist seeking more riches.

Nanny's words made Janie's kiss across the gatepost seem like a manure pile after a rain

Fear is the virtue of slaves; but the heart that loveth is willing.

You will not pit one word of God against another word of God.

Of those things that would make a difference, which are right for me?

Reform is born of need, not pity.

I do think we need heroes. It gives people hope and an example to follow.

While I was waiting...I ate your lunch.

I don't often get a chance to have a frying pan in the show.
