Wisdom is the right application of knowledge; and true education...is the application of knowledge to the development of a noble and Godlike character.

No parent can consistently teach faith in Christ who profanes the name of Deity. Profanity is never heard in the well-ordered home. Swearing is a vice that bespeaks a low standard of breeding. Blasphemous exclamations drive out all spirit of reverence.

Seek to share joy with others, or to make somebody else happy, and you will find your own soul radiant with the joy you wished for another.

[One] principle that actuated the lives of the fathers who founded our Constitution was faith in God.

The young man who closes the door behind him, who draws the curtains, and there in silence pleads with God for help, should first pour out his soul in gratitude for health, for friends, for loved ones, for the gospel, for the manifestations of God's existence. He should first count his many blessings and name them one by one.

True education is awakening a love for truth...opening the eyes of the soul to the great purpose and end of life.

I never think of death: I am too busy thinking of life.
