What wings are to a bird, and sails to a ship, so is prayer to the soul.

In the center of a hurricane there is absolute peace and quiet. There is no safer place than in the center of the will of God.

Nobody can take away from you those texts from the Bible which you have learned by heart.

Forgiveness is the key that unlocks the door of resentment and the handcuffs of hatred. It is a power that breaks the chains of bitterness and the shackles of selfishness.
