There are two ways to read Scripture - the way a lawyer reads a will and the way an heir reads a will.

Prayer is the only way to amend your life: and without prayer, it will never be mended.

No man's prayer is acceptable with God whose life is not well pleasing before God.

Grace, then, is grace,--that is to say, it is sovereign, it is free, it is sure, it is unconditional, and it is everlasting.

The greatest and best talent that God gives to any man or woman in this world is the talent of prayer.

Only once did God choose a completely sinless preacher.

If you find your life of prayer to be always so short, and so easy, and so spiritual, as to be without cost and strain and sweat to you, you may depend upon it, you have not yet begun to pray.

Every kind of prayer, not intercessory prayer only, which is the highest kind of prayer, but all prayer, from the lowest kind to the highest, is impossible in a life of known and allowed sin.

Prayer is a rising up and a drawing near to God in mind and in heart, and in spirit.

Admit sin, and you banish prayer. But, on the other hand, entertain, and encourage, and practice prayer, and sin will sooner or later flee before it.

It is the holiness of our Lord's heart that fills the New Testament full and makes it the unparalleled and unapproachable Book that it is.

Happiness quite unshared can scarcely be called happiness

Time is the devourer of all things.

Those hot pants of hers were so damned tight, I could hardly breathe.

Not every problem is solvable, okay.

No man can be a sound lawyer in this land who is not well read in the ethics of Moses and the virtues of Jesus.

Regret, already sogging me down, burst its dam. It seeped into my legs, it pooled in my heart.

I don't like journalists and I hardly ever talk to them.

I like people recognizing me.

I said that I’m a fairy… and I prefer to dance and fly with the butterfly but they made me talk and walk - and I hate walking and talking.

Be ready to face the worst. This will leave you with stability in your mind.
