It is folly for a man to pray to the gods for that which he has the power to obtain by himself.

Now as of old the gods give men all good things, excepting only those that are baneful and injurious and useless. These, now as of old, are not gifts of the gods: men stumble into them themselves because of their own blindness and folly.

Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men! Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for power equal to your tasks.

Do you not see even stones yield to the power of time, lofty towers fall to decay, and the rocks molder away? Temples and statues of the gods go to ruin, nor can the gods themselves prolong their date or get reprieve from fate

Two thousand years ago, we lived in a world of Gods and Goddesses. Today, we live in a world solely of Gods. Women in most cultures have been stripped of their spiritual power.

Dan Brown (1964-)

Dan Brown

We often want one thing and pray for another, not telling the truth even to the gods.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4 f.Kr.-65)

Seneca

Certain things can only be dealt with
by ignoring them; if you face them you increase
their power. It is absurd to say, Pray about them;
when once a thing is seen to be wrong,
don't pray about it, it fixes the mind on it;
never for a second brood on it,
destroy it by neglect.

Oswald Chambers

Unanswered prayers of lowly birth/On wings of folly round the earth/Illusion clouds the eyes that raise/To the emerald gods they praise.

I really wanted to see something to hold him accountable in some way. God knows how many thousands of dollars he's been able to obtain in the Garden of the Gods (Road) business area.

And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, and forsook the LORD, and served not him.

Being mortal, never pray for an untroubled life; But ask the gods to give you an enduring heart

Menander of Athens

Infinite power of the spirit, brought to bear upon matter evolves material development, made to act upon thought evolves intellectuality, and made to act upon itself makes of man a GOd. First, let us be Gods, and then help other to be GOds. "Be and Make." Let this be our motto.

Swami Vivekananda (1863-1902)

Swami Vivekananda

If the gods listened to the prayers of men, all humankind would quickly perish since they constantly pray for many evils to befall one another

And the man, the master of the house, went out unto them, and said unto them, Nay, my brethren, nay, I pray you, do not so wickedly; seeing that this man is come into mine house, do not this folly.
