It takes a great man to give sound advice tactfully, but a greater to accept it graciously.

It is boorish to live ungraciously: the giving is the hardest part; what does it cost to add a smile?

And I pray thee, loving Jesus, that as Thou hast graciously given me to drink in with delight the words of Thy knowledge, so Thou wouldst mercifully grant me to attain one day to Thee, the fountain of all wisdom and to appear forever before Thy face.

I thank my God for graciously granting me the opportunity of learning that death is the key which unlocks the door to our true happiness.

When I say that I love animals, I mean to say that I am IN love with them. Because they don't know evil and have never been tempted by it. Because they are the purest image of any higher being I have ever known. Because their souls are made of a much larger magic than my own, and if you let them, they will show it to you. Because this world is theirs, they were here first. And we should all love them a little more for graciously allowing us to have so much of it.

God does say He will graciously entertain our prayers. He says that if we exercise faith and if our request is in accordance with His will He will hear us.
