Quote by Saint Teresa of Avila

For prayer is nothing else than being on terms of friendship with God.

For prayer is nothing else than being on terms of friendship

Summary

This quote suggests that prayer is not merely a religious ritual or duty, but rather a way of cultivating a close and friendly relationship with God. It implies that prayer is an avenue to connect with the divine, and that through prayer, individuals can establish a sense of familiarity, trust, and intimacy with God. In this perspective, prayer is seen as a means to foster a personal connection and dialogue with the divine rather than just a form of devotion or supplication.

As you grow older, you'll see white men cheat black men ever

As you grow older, you'll see white men cheat black men every day of your life, but let me tell you something and don't you forget it -- whenever a white man does that to a black man, no matter who he is, how rich he is, or how fine a family he comes from, that white man is trash.

The weather being hot, he had no cravat, and wore his shirt

The weather being hot, he had no cravat, and wore his shirt collar wide open; so that every time he spoke something was seen to twitch and jerk up in his throat, like the little hammers in a harpsichord when the notes are struck. Perhaps it was the Truth feebly endeavouring to leap to his lips. If so, it never reached them.

Write down the most important things you have to do tomorrow

Write down the most important things you have to do tomorrow. Now, number them in the order of their true importance. The first thing tomorrow morning, start working on an item Number 1, and stay with it until completed. Then take item Number 2 the same way. Then Number 3, and so on. Don't worry if you don't complete everything on the schedule. At least you will have completed the most important projects before getting to the less important ones.
