Prayer Is Intended To Increase The Devotion Of The Individual, But If The Individual Himself Prays He Requires No Formula; He Pours Himself Forth Much More Naturally In Self-chosen And Connected Thoughts Before God, And Scarcely Requires Words At All. Real Inward Devotion Knows No Prayer But That Arising From The Depths Of Its Own Feelings.

Joy Mingled With Sadness, Even With Grief, Is The Deepest Human Joy. It Winds Itself About The Soul With Indescribable Sweetness, With A Dim But Unerring Sense For What Will Some Day Be Born Of It.
