Graham, Ruth

Do not make prayer a monologue -- make it a conversation.

15.

The object of most prayers is to wangle an advance on good intentions.

Brault, Robert

16.

A childish soul not inoculated with compulsory prayer is a soul open to any religious infection.

Cockburn, Alexander

17.

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

18.

We often want one thing and pray for another, not telling the truth even to the gods.

Seneca

19.

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

Hemingway, Ernest

27.

Father in Heaven! When the thought of thee wakes in our hearts let it not awaken like a frightened bird that flies about in dismay, but like a child waking from its sleep with a heavenly smile.

Kierkegaard, S°ren

28.

Praying without ceasing is not ritualized, nor are there even words. It is a constant state of awareness of oneness with God.

Pilgrim, Peace

29.

To be sure, this requires effort and love, a careful cultivation of the spiritual life, and a watchful, honest, active oversight of all one's mental attitudes towards things and people. It is not to be learned by world-flight, running away from things, turning solitary and going apart from the world. Rather, one must learn an inner solitude, where or with whomsoever he may be. He must learn to penetrate things and find God there, to get a strong impression of God firmly fixed on his mind.

Eckhart, Meister

Heaven grant that the burden you carry may have as easy an exit as it had an entrance. [Prayer To A Pregnant Woman]

Josh Billings

40.

Prayer is the key of the morning and the bolt of the evening.

Gandhi, Mahatma

41.

Prayer should be short, without giving God Almighty reasons why he should grant this, or that; he knows best what is good for us.
