Mortal birth is a boon to which only those spirits who kept their first estate are eligible.
James E. TalmageMere pleasure is at best but fleeting; happiness is abiding, for in the recollection thereof is renewed.
James E. TalmageBelief is in a sense passive, an agreement or acceptance only; faith is active and positive, embracing such reliance and confidence as will lead to works. Faith in Christ comprises belief in Him, combined with trust in Him. One cannot have faith without belief; yet he may believe and still lack faith. Faith is vivified, vitalized, living belief.
James E. Talmage
