Motivational Quotes
Prayer
Prayer is not an old woman's idle amusement. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action.
Best Quotes about Prayer
There are more tears shed over answered prayers than over unanswered prayers.
Saint Theresa of Jesus
Heaven grant that the burden you carry may have as easy an exit as it had an entrance. [Prayer To A Pregnant Woman]
Erasmus, Desiderius
Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks. [I Thessalonians]
Bible
A childish soul not inoculated with compulsory prayer is a soul open to any religious infection.
Cockburn, Alexander
Whatsoever we beg of God, let us also work for it.
Taylor, Jeremy
Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies, those transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experience life and the world.
Milton, John
Prayer is translation. A man translates himself into a child asking for all there is in a language he has barely mastered.
Cohen, Leonard
Praying without ceasing is not ritualized, nor are there even words. It is a constant state of awareness of oneness with God.
Pilgrim, Peace
God answers sharp and sudden on some prayers and thrust the thing we have prayed for in our face, like a gauntlet with a gift in it.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
The men who have guided the destiny of the United States have found the strength for their tasks by going to their knees. This private unity of public men and their God is an enduring source of reassurance for the people of America.
Johnson, Lyndon B.
There are thoughts which are prayers. There are moments when, whatever the posture of the body, the soul is on its knees.
Hugo, Victor
Prayer is not a substitute for work, thinking, watching, suffering, or giving; prayer is a support for all other efforts.
Buttrick, George
Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.
Augustine, St.
Answered prayers cause more tears than those that remain unanswered.
Teresa of Avila, St.
But if it were I, I would appeal to God; I would lay my cause before Him. He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted. [Job 5:8-9]
Bible
Prayer is less about changing the world than it is about changing ourselves.
Wolpe, David J.
Prayer and practice is good rhyme.
Proverb, Scottish
Prayer is not an old woman's idle amusement. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action.
Gandhi, Mahatma
More than once I had seen a noble who had gotten his enemy at a disadvantage stop to pray before cutting his throat.
Twain, Mark
Sometimes the most important thing in a whole day is the rest we take between two deep breaths, or the turning inwards in prayer for five short minutes.
Hillesum, Etty
Pray for what you want, but work for what you need.
Pray. To ask the laws of the universe to be annulled on behalf of a single petitioner confessedly unworthy.
Bierce, Ambrose
Let everyone try and find that as a result of daily prayer he adds something new to his life, something with which nothing can be compared.
Gandhi, Mahatma
Do not ask for what you will wish you had not got.
Seneca
Ask God for what man can give, and you may get it.
Proverb, English
The influence of prayer on the human mind and body is as demonstrable as that of secreting glands. Its results can be measured in terms of increased physical buoyancy, greater intellectual vigor, moral stamina, and a deeper understanding of the realities underlying human relationships.
Carrel, Dr. Alex
Pray that you will never have to bear all that you are able to endure.
Proverb, Jewish
You must pray that the way be long, full of adventures and experiences.
Constantine Peter Cavafy
The time of business does not with me differ from the time of prayer, and in the noise and clatter of my kitchen, while several persons are at the same time calling for different things, I possess God as if I were upon my knees at the blessed sacrament.
Lawrence, Brother
A single grateful thought toward heaven is the most perfect prayer.
Lessing, Gotthold
The object of most prayers is to wangle an advance on good intentions.
Brault, Robert
Prayer indeed is good, but while calling on the gods a man should himself lend a hand.
Hippocrates
Religion is in the heart, not in the knees.
Jerrold, Douglas William
There are few men who dare to publish to the world the prayers they make to Almighty God.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
The fates are not quite obdurate; they have a grim, sardonic way of granting them who supplicate the thing they wanted yesterday.
Montgomery, Roselle Mercier
Pray to God but continue to row to the shore.
Proverb, Russian
Don't put people down, unless it's on your prayer list.
Michalski, Stan
When you lie down with a short prayer, commit yourself into the hands of your Creator; and when you have done so, trust Him with yourself, as you must do when you are dying.
Taylor, Jeremy
The man who says his evening prayer is a captain posting his sentinels. He can sleep.
Baudelaire, Charles
Our thanks to God should always precede our requests.
Just pray for a tough hide and a tender heart.
Graham, Ruth
Audible prayer can never do the works of spiritual understanding, which regenerates; but silent prayer, watchfulness, and devout obedience enable us to follow Jesus example. Long prayers, superstition, and creeds clip the strong pinions of love, and clothe religion in human forms. Whatever materializes worship hinders man's spiritual growth and keeps him from demonstrating his power over error.
Eddy, Mary Baker
Our prayers should be for blessings in general, for God knows best what is good for us.
Socrates
Our nada who art in nada, nada be thy name thy kingdom nada thy will be nada in nada as it is in nada. Give us this nada our daily nada and nada us our nada as we nada our nadas and nada us not into nada but deliver us from nada; pues nada. Hail nothing full of nothing, nothing is with thee.
Hemingway, Ernest
The time to pray is not when we are in a tight spot but just as soon as we get out of it.
Josh Billings
We turn to God for help when our foundations are shaking, only to learn that it is God who is shaking them.
West, Charles C.
Common people do not pray; they only beg.
Shaw, George Bernard
Prayer should be the key of the day and the lock of the night.
Herbert, George
If I told you what it takes to reach the highest high you'd laugh and say nothing that simple, but you've been told many times before messiah's point you to the door though no one's got the guts to leave the temple.
Townsend, Peter
That prayer has great power which a person makes with all his might. It makes a sour heart sweet, a sad heart merry, a poor heart rich, a foolish heart wise, a timid heart brave, a sick heart well, a blind heart full of sight, a cold heart ardent. It draws down the great God into the little heart; it drives the hungry soul up into the fullness of God; it brings together two lovers, God and the soul, in a wondrous place where they speak much of love.
Magheburg, Mechthild of
