- God answers sharp and sudden on some prayers,
- And thrusts the thing we have prayed for in our face,
- A gauntlet with a gift in 't.
ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING, Aurora Leigh
As men's prayers are a disease of the will so are their creeds a disease of the intellect.
RALPH WALDO EMERSON, Essays
When the gods would make us mad, they answer our prayers.
DAVID MAMET, Speed-the-Plow
- My God, is any hour so sweet
- From blush of morn to evening star,
- As that which calls me to Thy feet
- The hour of prayer?
CHARLOTTE ELLIOTT, My God, Is Any Hour So Sweet
If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is "thank you," it will be enough.
MEISTER ECKHART, Woman's Day Magazine, Nov. 13, 2007
