Happiness consists not of having, but of being. It is a warm glow of the heart at peace with itself.

Always remember that a soldier's pack is lighter than a slave's chains.

An unsatisfied appetite for knowledge means progress and is the state of a normal mind.

No other success can compensate for failure in the home. The poorest shack in which love prevails over a united family is of greater value to God and future humanity that any other riches. In such a home God can work miracles and will work miracles.

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.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ can make bad men good and good men better, can alter human nature, and can change human lives.

I repeat that no greater immediate responsibility rests upon members of the Church, upon all citizens of this republic and of neighboring republics than to protect the freedom vouchsafed by the Constitution of the United States.
