The Divine wisdom has given us prayer, not as a means whereby to obtain the good things of earth, but as a means whereby we learn to do without them; not as a means whereby we escape evil, but as a means whereby we become strong to meet it.

  • -- Frederick William Robertson 弗雷德里克·威廉·罗伯逊

神的智慧赐给我们祷告,不是要我们得到地上美好的事物,而是要我们学会不需要它们而去做;不是作为我们逃避罪恶的手段,而是作为我们变得强大以面对罪恶的手段。
