Motivational Quotes
Prayer
Practical prayer is harder on the soles of your shoes than on the knees of your trousers.
Best Quotes about Prayer
Your cravings as a human animal do not become a prayer just because it is God whom you ask to attend to them.
Hammarskjold, Dag
Ask God's blessing on your work, but don't ask him to do it for you.
Robson, Dame Flora
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
Don't put people down, unless it's on your prayer list.
Michalski, Stan
Your prayer must be for a sound mind in a sound body.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)
Most men pray for power, the strength to do things. Few people pray for love, the quality to be someone.
Foster, Robert D.
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
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
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
You must pray that the way be long, full of adventures and experiences.
Constantine Peter Cavafy
Pray for what you want, but work for what you need.
Practice in life whatever you pray for and God will give it to you more abundantly.
Pusey, Edward Bouverie
Do not make prayer a monologue -- make it a conversation.
Pray. To ask the laws of the universe to be annulled on behalf of a single petitioner confessedly unworthy.
Bierce, Ambrose
When a man has done all he can do, still there is a mighty, mysterious agency over which he needs influence to secure success. The one way he can reach it is by prayer.
Conwell, Russel H.
If you can't pray a door open, don't pry it open.
Rader, Lyell
Answered prayers cause more tears than those that remain unanswered.
Teresa of Avila, St.
Prayer is a confession of one's own unworthiness and weakness.
Gandhi, Mahatma
Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.
Augustine, St.
One hour in the execution of justice is worth seventy years of prayer.
Proverb
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
We often want one thing and pray for another, not telling the truth even to the gods.
Seneca
Common people do not pray; they only beg.
Shaw, George Bernard
The function of prayer is not to influence God, but rather to change the nature of the one who prays.
Kierkegaard, SĀ°ren
Spiritual favors are not always to be looked for, and not always to be relied on.
Barr, Amelia E.
Battering the gates of heaven with the storms of prayer.
Tennyson, Lord Alfred
It is from prayer that the spirit's victory springs.
Schillerbuch
You can pray for someone even if you don't think God exists.
Real Live Preacher
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
We are all weak, finite, simple human beings, standing in the need of prayer. None need it so much as those who think they are strong, those who know it not, but are deluded by self-sufficiency.
Phillips, Harold C.
There are more tears shed over answered prayers than over unanswered prayers.
Saint Theresa of Jesus
Whatsoever we beg of God, let us also work for it.
Taylor, Jeremy
If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough.
Eckhart, Meister
Do not ask for what you will wish you had not got.
Seneca
Prayer is less about changing the world than it is about changing ourselves.
Wolpe, David J.
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.
Work as if you were to live a hundred years. Pray as if you were to die tomorrow.
Franklin, Benjamin
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
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.
No one can pray well, but those who live well.
Proverb
If the only prayer you ever say in your whole life is "thank you," that would suffice.
Meister Eckhart
Prayer indeed is good, but while calling on the gods a man should himself lend a hand.
Hippocrates
When I pray, coincidences happen, and when I don't, they don't.
Temple, Sir William
Old hands soil, it seems, whatever they caress, but they too have their beauty when they are joined in prayer. Young hands were made for caresses and the sheathing of love. It is a pity to make them join too soon.
Gide, Andre
Ask God for what man can give, and you may get it.
Proverb, English
There are thoughts which are prayers. There are moments when, whatever the posture of the body, the soul is on its knees.
Hugo, Victor
Pray to God but continue to row to the shore.
Proverb, Russian
One single grateful thought raised to heaven is the most perfect prayer.
G. E. Lessing
Prayer should be short, without giving God Almighty reasons why he should grant this, or that; he knows best what is good for us.
Selden, John
When the gods wish to punish us, they answer our prayers.
Oscar Wilde
