Methodical Prayer

Famous quotes containing the words methodical and/or prayer:

    A man who would woo a fair maid,
    Should ‘prentice himself to the trade;
    And study all day,
    In methodical way,
    How to flatter, cajole, and persuade
    Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)

    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?
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
