The prayers of a lover are more imperious than the menaces of the whole world.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Nothing makes us love a person as much as praying for him.
Of all the tyrants the world affords, our own affections are the fiercest lords.
The best prayers have often more groans than words.
True prayer is not asking God for love; it is learning to love, and to include all mankind in one affection. Prayer is the utilization of the love wherewith He loves us.
If God listened to the prayers of men, all men would quickly have perished: for they are forever praying for evil against one another.
Whereas religious prayers sing of peace and harmony, religion has divided human beings through an atrocious history of enmity and bloodshed. Yet, behind the veil of superficiality and hypocrisy, I always believed in the inherent beauty of God that lies at the essence of all true spiritual paths.

It is folly for a man to pray to the gods for that which he has the power to obtain by himself.
Until I feel strong enough to pray sincerely and to act accordingly, I would rather not pray at all.
The more praying there is in the world, the better the world will be, the mightier the forces against evil everywhere.
