“Labor is the only prayer that Nature answers: It is the only prayer that deserves an answer—good, honest, noble work. ”
“God answers all prayers, but sometimes his answer is 'no'.”
“Prayer not only teaches and strengthens one for work, work teaches and strengthens one for prayer.”
“Sometimes the best answers to prayer are the ones God doesn't answer.”
“Prevailing prayer is that which secures an answer. Saying prayers is not offering prevailing prayer. The prevalence of prayer does not depend so much on quantity as on quality.”
“If God were not only to hear our prayers, as he does ever and always, but to answer them as we want them answered, he would not be God our Saviour but the ministering genius of our destruction.”
