But being overborne with numbers, and nobody daring to face about, stretching out his hands to heaven, [romulus] prayed to jupiter to stop the army, and not to neglect but maintain the roman cause, now in extreme danger. the prayer was no sooner made, than shame and respect for their king checked many; the fears of the fugitives changed suddenly into confidence.

But Being Overborne With Numbers, And Nobody

Plutarch

But being overborne with numbers, and nobody daring to face about, stretching out his hands to heaven, [romulus] prayed to jupiter to stop the army, and not to neglect but maintain the roman cause, now in extreme danger. the prayer was no sooner made, than shame and respect for their king checked many; the fears of the fugitives changed suddenly into confidence.

More From Plutarch

Horace, in a particularly boastful mood, once said his verse would last as long as the vestal virgins kept going up the capitoline hill to worship at the temple of jupiter. but horace's poetry has lasted longer than jupiter's religion, and jupiter himself has only survived because he disappeared into literature.

Carmen prayed hard. she prayed while standing near the priest in hopes it would give her request extra credibility. what she prayed for was nothing. she prayed that god would look on them and see the beauty of their existence and leave them alone.

You are putting yourself in serious danger...' i think that i preferred to put myself in serious danger rather than confront my shame. my shame at not having become someone, the shame of not having made my parents proud after all the sacrifices they had made for me. the shame of having become a mediocre nihilist.

No sooner met but they looked; no sooner looked but they loved; no sooner loved but they sighed; no sooner sighed but they asked one another the reason; no sooner knew the reason but they sought the remedy; and in these degrees have they made a pair of stairs to marriage.

I have prayed for new men, fiery, reckless men, possessed of uncontrollably youthful passion-these lit by the spirit of god. i have prayed for new words, explosive, direct, simple words. i have prayed for new miracles. explaining old miracles will not do. if god is to be known as the god who does wonders in heaven and earth, then god must produce for this generation. lord, fill preachers and preaching with thy power. how long dare we go on without tears, without moral passions, hatred and love? not long, i pray, lord jesus, not long.

Prayer is first of all listening to god. it's openness. god is always speaking; he's always doing something. prayer is to enter into that activity... convert your thoughts into prayer. as we are involved in unceasing thinking, so we are called to unceasing prayer. the difference is not that prayer is thinking about other things, but that prayer is thinking in dialogue,... a conversation with god.

Let us pray for ourselves, that we may not lose the word “concern” out of our christian vocabulary. let us pray for our nation. let us pray for those who have never known jesus christ and redeeming love, for moral forces everywhere, for our national leaders. let prayer be our passion. let prayer be our practice.

I respect the courts, but the supreme court is only that - the supreme of the courts. it is not the supreme being. it cannot overrule god. when it comes to prayer, when it comes to life, and when it comes to the sanctity of marriage, the court cannot change what god has created.

Prayer is innocence's friend; and willingly flieth incessant 'twist the earth and the sky, the carrier-pigeon of heaven.

Seven wonders of the world and i have to ask for an eighth fill a bottle with some prayers and spend them on hope create an easy route just so i can complicate send my heart down that slippery slope
