Pray as you can, not as you can't."
- Dom Chapman

"Prayer is the inner bath of love into which the soul plunges itself."
- St. John Vianney

"The whole reason why we pray is to be united into the vision and contemplation of God to whom we pray."
- Julian of Norwich

"Do not forget that the value and interest of life is not so much to do conspicuous things ...as to do ordinary things with the perception of their enormous value."
- Teilhard de Chardin

"I believe that it is impossible to grasp all the different forms of prayer without great purity of heart and soul. There are as many forms of prayer as there are states of soul. A person pays in a certain manner when cheerful and in another when weighed down by sadness or a sense of hopelessness. When one is flourishing spiritually, prayer is different from when one is oppressed by the extent of one's struggles."
- John Cassian
