It is only the commonplace of the inner life that can be uttered in even the finest language.

There is always more that lies back, unexpressed, than is spoken in any words.
It is specially true of prayer that we cannot utter its deepest feelings and holiest desires.

We have comfort, however, in the assurance that God can hear thoughts.

He knows what we want to say and cannot express.

Your dearest friend may stand close to you when your mind is full of thoughts, but unless you speak or give some sign, he cannot know one of your thoughts.
