"Don't judge yourself by what you understand of your potential.
Trust in the Lord and what He can do with your dedicated heart and willing mind."
"Do not allow yourselves to be made to feel inadequate or frustrated because you cannot do everything others seem to be accomplishing. Only you and your Father in Heaven know your needs, strengths, and desires. Around this knowledge your personal course must be charted and your chioces made."
Marvin. J. Ashton
"In this age of one hour dry cleaning and one minute fast food franchises, it may at times seem to us as though a loving Heavenly Father has misplaced our precious promises or He has put them on hold or filed them under the wrong name. . . ."When heaven's promises sometimes seem afar off, I pray that each of us will embrace these exceeding great and precious promises and never let go. . . .
God will remember you."
One of President Lee's favorite sayings was:
"It's all right to pull the cow out of the mud on Sunday,
provided that you don't push him in on Saturday night."
"Just as the lame man at the pool of Bethesda needed someone stronger than himself to be healed, so we are dependent on the miracles of Christ's atonement if our souls are to be made whole from grief, sorrow, and sin".
Merrill J. Bateman
"The Prince of Peace was sent to "bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives,
and the opening of the prison to them that are bound"
(Isaiah 61:1).
The Lord Jehovah, who is Jesus Christ, is the Great Physician,
the One sent of the Father to heal our wounds, to dry our tears, to settle our souls."
Robert L. Millet
"The only person you should try to be better than,
is the person you were yesterday."
"Therefore, let your hearts be comforted concerning Zion;
for all flesh is in mine hands; be still and know that I am God".
(D&C 101:16)
"Our lives become extremely busy. We run from one thing to another.
We wear ourselves out in thoughtless pursuit of goals which are largely ephemeral.
We are entitled to spend some time with ourselves in introspection,
in development, in thinking, meditating, pondering things."
~ President Gordon B Hinckley ~
"..Those who have chosen to 'come unto Christ' soon realize that they do not 'own' themselves. Instead, they belong to Him. We are to become consecrated along with our gifts, our appointed days, and our very selves. Hence, there is a stark difference between stubbornly "owning" oneself and submissively belonging to God."
Neal A. Maxwell
"Some people pray cream and live skimmed milk"
I solemnly testify that God our Father lives, that His plan is perfect. I bear testimony that as you raise your voice in prayer, those prayers are heard. They are best answered when offered from a broken heart and a contrite spirit. I know that someday I will be judged for how well I testify of my certain knowledge of Jesus Christ. Therefore, I solemnly witness that because of His Atonement, our Father's plan of happiness will succeed. Satan's plan is doomed to failure. I know that Jesus Christ lives. I solemnly witness with every capacity I possess that He lives and that He loves you. Through your obedience He will help you find happiness.
Richard G. Scott
"You're going to have some dark moments. We all do. But when they come, I hope you will remember to let the sunshine into your life. Don't be hard on yourself, and don't let other people be hard on you either. Give yourself credit for the good things you do. If you make a mistake, give yourself credit for trying...if you do only half of what you wanted to do, or do it only half as well as you would have liked, pat yourself on half your back.
But lighten up!
Be lighthearted enough that you can float above the dark clouds and see the rainbows in your life.
The gospel brings a whole rainbow of light into our lives".
Chieko N Okazaki
"Trust In The Lord"
". . . we may in our anguish feel that we could bear anything if we could only understand the divine purpose in what is happening . . . the righteous live by faith and that faith is not an easy solution to life's problems. Faith is confidence and trust in the character and purposes of God . . . .
Our religion is 'not weight, it is wings.' It can carry us through the dark times, the bitter cup. It will be with us in the fiery furnace and the deep pit. It will accompany us to the hospital room and to the place of bereavement. It can guarantee us the presence of a Captain on the rough voyage. It is, in short, not the path to easy disposition of problems, but the comforting assurance of the eternal light, by which we may see, and the eternal warmth, which we may feel. 'The Lord is good; Blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
Marion D. Hanks
There will always be a need for you to walk to the edge of the light of your knowledge and testimony into the twilight of faith. You will be asked to exercise faith in truths you have not yet come to prove through your own experience or through the sacred witness of the Holy Ghost.
Exercise faith in Jesus Christ and in His infinite capacity to bless. Faith leads one to action, to achieve goals even when there is little visible evidence to give hope of success. Faith is abiding trust in truth. Therefore it is a source of power to know simple yet profoundly important truths and to have the faith to live them. Enduring happiness is rooted in unchangeable truth lived in faith.
Richard G. Scott
"In your pursuit of excellence, real effort is required. Remember, 'he which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully' (2 Corinthians 9:6)."
Thomas S. Monson
"No service, No Christ.
Know Service, Know Christ."

"Since 'God is love' (1 John 4:8), the closer we approach Him, the more profoundly we experience love. But because a veil separates this mortality from our heavenly home, we must seek in the Spirit that which is imperceptible to mortal eyes."Heaven may seem distant at times, but the scriptures offer hope: 'Ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart' (Jeremiah 29:13)."

"Should you become discouraged or feel burdened down,
remember that others have passed this same way;
they have endured and then have achieved.
When we have done all that we are able to do,
we can then rely on God's promised help."
"Wonderful, glorious things are in store for you,
if only you will believe, obey and endure."
~Thomas S. Monson~
Do something today that your future self will thank you for.
Before you were conceived,
We wanted you.
Before you were born,
We loved you.
Before you were here an hour,
We would die for you.
This is the miracle of love.
