Fasting is a medicine.
Saint John Chrysostom
In his adversity I ever prayed, that God would give him strength; for greatness he could not want.
Ben Jonson (1572 - 1637)
It's easy to love God. It's easy to love Jesus. It's easy to pray for the heathen African ten thousand miles from the house where you live. It's hard to call a lousy tramp your brother and set him down at your table.
Melvin Tolson (1900 - 1966)
A leap over the hedge is better than good men's prayers.

Almighty God, give us the grace that we may cast away the works of darkness, and put upon us the armour of light, now in the time of this mortal life.

Command your children to perform ritual prayer when they are seven, and beat them for neglecting it when they are ten.
Ahmad Ibn Hanbal (780 - 855)
Grant that those things which we ask faithfully we may obtain effectually.
Book of Common Prayer
