[The Constitution] will not be saved in Washington. It will be saved by the citizens of this nation who love and cherish freedom...men and women who will subscribe to and abide the principles of the Constitution.

When we put God first, all other things fall into their proper place or drop out of our lives. Our love of the Lord will govern the claims for our affection, the demands on our time, the interests we pursue, and the order of our priorities.

Becoming Christlike is a lifetime pursuit and very often involves growth and change that is slow, almost imperceptible.

I testify to you that God's hand has been in our destiny. I testify that freedom as we know it today is being threatened as never before in our history. I further witness that this land-the Americas-must be protected, its Constitution upheld, for this is a land foreordained to be the Zion of our God. He expects us as members of the Church and bearers of His priesthood to do all we can to preserve our liberty.

A positive self-image has little relationship to our material circumstances.

We should confess His hand in all things. Ingratitude is one of our great sins.

One of the trials of life is that we do not usually receive immediately the full blessing for righteousness or the full cursing for wickedness.
