Famous quotes containing the words evening and/or prayer:

    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Does any one suppose that private prayer is necessarily candid—necessarily goes to the roots of action! Private prayer is inaudible speech, and speech is representative: who can represent himself just as he is, even in his own reflections?”
