The world in Thine, from Thee it rose,
By Thee it ebbs, by Thee it flows,
Hence, worldly lore! By whom is wisdom shown?
The Eternal knows, knows all, and He alone!
– Omar Khayam

Prayer is the peace of our spirit, the stillness of our thoughts, the evenness of recollection, the seat of meditation, the rest of our cares and the calm of our tempest; prayer is the issue of a quiet mind, of untroubled thoughts, it is the daughter of charity, and the sister of meekness. Prayer is the ascent to God by which the devout soul is enable to share in eternity.
– Jeremy Taylor

No man, for any considerable period, can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which may be the true.
