Wilson Rawls famous quote #154

I believe a boy can have anything in life that he wants once he starts working for it. The main thing is not to give up. It makes no difference how tough things get just bow your back keep working and put your heart and soul into it. As you go along your way live a good clean life dont hurt anyone or anything and always be honest. It doesnt hurt to pray a little too. If you do all those things-someday youll have your pony and gun. Youll get help when you least expect it.

Henri J.M. Nouwen quote #367 from The Way of the Heart: Desert Spirituality and Contemporary Ministry

For many of us prayer means nothing more than speaking with God. And since it usually seems to be a quite one-sided affair prayer simply means talking to God. This idea is enough to create great frustrations. If I present a problem I expect a solution if I formulate a question I expect an answer if I ask for guidance I expect a response. And when it seems increasingly that I am talking into the dark it is not so strange that I soon begin to suspect that my dialogue with God is in fact a monologue. Then I may begin to ask myself To whom am I really speaking God or myself
