I value all things as nothing in comparison with having the spirit of God to guide me.

I remember that after that teaching given to me as a young man, as a boy, almost, by the President of the Church. I read this chapter about once a week for quite a while, then once a month for several months. I thought I needed it in my business, so to speak; that it was one of the things that were necessary for my advancement.

Teaching by precept, without example, is mighty poor teaching.

I am free to confess that I am disappointed with the Yosemite valley. It seems only about one-half as grand as the American Fork canyon.

I consider it one of the greatest accomplishments of my life that I have learned to sing.

I believe unless we have ambition to accomplish things and to do things that we amount to but very little in the battle of life.

In the quiet hours, in the heat of battle, and through the hazards of the day; in times of temptation, of sorrow, of peace and of blessing, let us pray always, both alone, and with our families gathered around us, with gratitude for the blessings of life, for understanding of its problems, and for strength to endure to the end.
