Prayer is the offering up of our desires to God in the name of Christ, for such things as are agreeable to his will. It is an offering of our desires. Desires are the soul and life of prayer words are but the body now as the body without the soul is dead, so are prayers unless they are animated with our desires.
Thomas Watson

Solve it. Solve it quickly, solve it right or wrong. If you solve it wrong, it will come back and slap you in the face, and then you can solve it right. Lying dead in the water and doing nothing is a comfortable alternative because it is without risk, but it is an absolutely fatal way to manage a business.
Thomas Watson
Affliction may be lasting, but it is not everlasting.
Thomas Watson

Thomas Watson
It is our work to cast care, and it is God's work to take care.
Thomas Watson
The more we enjoy of God, the more we are ravished with delight.
Thomas Watson
God will fill the hungry because He Himself has stirred up the hunger. As in the case of prayer, when God prepares the heart to pray, He prepares His ear to hear (Ps. 10:17). So in the case of spiritual hunger, when God prepares the heart to hunger, He will prepare His hand to fill.
Thomas Watson
If a wicked man seems to have peace at death, it is not from the knowledge of his happiness, but from the ignorance of his danger.
Thomas Watson
Joining a company is an act that calls for absolute loyalty in big matters and little ones.
Thomas Watson
If joining IBM was commitment, not employment, and the company engaged in something more than business, it had a right to demand of its men unconditional loyalty, Watson believed.
Thomas Watson
What if we have more of the rough file, if we have less rust! Afflictions carry away nothing but the dross of sin.
Thomas Watson
The Ediles among the Romans had their doors always standing open, that all who had petitions might have free access to them. The door of heaven is always open for the prayers of God's people.
