The principle of work is part of self-discipline. Now, my dear young sisters, I have lived a good many years longer than you, but even back in Grandpa's time there was something to make you want to lie down and go to sleep-they called it work.

I hope we can all overcome any differences of culture, race, and language.

Look at everything through the lens of eternity. If you will do this, life will take on a different perspective.

In the many trials of life, when we feel abandoned and when sorrow, sin, disappointment, failure, and weakness make us less than we should ever be, there can come the healing salve of the unreserved love in the grace of God. It is a love that lifts and blesses. It is a love that sustains a new beginning on a higher level and thereby continues "from grace to grace."

One of the advantages of having lived a long time is that you can often remember when you had it worse. I am grateful to have lived long enough to have known some of the blessings of adversity.

The gap between what is popular and what is righteous is widening.

If you take each challenge one step at a time, with faith in every footstep, your strength and understanding will increase.
