Sometimes our plans don’t work out because God has better ones.
“Charity is not what we do. Charity is who we are.”
It’s not what you gather, but what you scatter,
that tells what kind of life you have lived!
A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step, so watch your step
Jeffrey R. Holland
God will have a humble people.
Either we can choose to be humble or we can be compelled to be humble.
Ezra Taft Benson
Success is usually earned by persevering and not becoming discouraged
when one encounters challenges.
James E. Faust
In the agriculture of the soul that has to do with nurturing attributes,
flash floods are no substitute for regular irrigation.
Neal Maxwell
“If you understand the great plan of happiness and follow it,
what goes on in the world will not determine your happiness.”
Boyd K. Packer
The pleasant future belongs to those who properly use today.
How unwise we are to waste our todays when they determine the significance of our tomorrows.
We should wisely live a day at a time because that is all we have.”
Marvin J. Ashton
The ultimate reason for having trials and afflictions is to entice you
to become the person it takes to overcome them.
Over the years, I have watched a number of people live out their lives in shallow water. In the shallows, life is all about yourself, your job, your money, your rights, your needs, your ideas, and your comforts. In the deeper waters, life is about others spouse, family, friends, faith, community, country. In the deep waters, there are challenging ideas, opposing opinions, protracted battles of consequence. . . Some of you will be tempted to stay near shore, where there are no big breakers and where you will never make any waves. Others will push beyond the sandbar, pursuing new frontiers, exploring new ideas, driving to achieve, to learn, to influence, to contribute. You cross into the deep waters by serving in your church, in your community, in the military, in government or in volunteer service.
Small events and choices determine the direction of our lives
just as small helms determine the directions of great ships.
