"The Kingdom of Heaven is not a reward for works, but a gift of grace prepared by the Master for His faithful servants." --St. Mark the Ascetic
"How many times have I prayed for what seemed a good thing for me and not leaving it to God to do as He knows best But having obtained what I begged for, I found myself in distress because I had not asked for it to be, rather, according to God's will." --St. Nilus of Sinai
"It is possible to pray at all times, in all places, with mind and spirit. You can lift up your mind and heart to God while walking, sitting, working, in a crowd and in solitude. His door is always open, unlike man’s. We can always say to Him in our hearts 'Lord , Lord have mercy.'" --St. Tikhon of Zadonsk
