“Prayer gives a man the opportunity of getting to know a gentleman he hardly ever meets. I do not mean his maker, but himself.”
W. R. Inge
“"The cradle of modern democracy but was now, on some measures, the most centralised country in Europe, bar Malta".”
British Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg
“If someone makes you feel like a loser, and brings you on your knees, make it an opportunity to pray kneeling down, don’t waste it.”
Rajwin Chandy
“There are thoughts which are prayers. There are moments when, whatever the posture of the body, the soul is on its knees.”
Victor Hugo
“I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: "O Lord, make my enemies ridiculous." And God granted it.”
Voltaire
“Prayer is not a way of making use of God; prayer is a way of offering ourselves to God in order that He should be able to make use of us. It may be that one of our great faults in prayer is that we talk too much and listen too little. When prayer is at its highest we wait in silence for God's voice to us; we linger in His presence for His peace and His power to flow over us and around us; we lean back in His everlasting arms and feel the serenity of perfect security in Him.”
William Barclay
“If thou shouldst never see my face again, pray for my soul. More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.”
Alfred Lord Tennyson
