Let people repent. Let people grow. Believe that people can change and improve.

To give ourselves totally to another person, as we do in marriage, is the most trusting step we take in any human relationship.

The race we are really in is the race against sin, and surely envy is one of the most universal of those.

One would truly need a great and spacious makeup kit to compete with beauty as portrayed in media all around us. Yet at the end of the day there would still be those "in the attitude of mocking and point their fingers" as Lehi saw (1 Nephi 8:27) because however much one tries in the world of glamour and fashion, it will never be glamorous enough.

We don't want God to remember our sins, so there is something fundamentally wrong in our relentlessly trying to remember those of others.

I suppose no one is as handsome or as beautiful as he or she wishes, or as brilliant in school or as witty in speech or as wealthy as we would like, but in a world of varied talents and fortunes that we can't always command, I think that makes even more attractive the qualities we can command--such qualities as thoughtfulness, patience, a kind word, and true delight in the accomplishment of another. These cost us nothing, and they can mean everything to the one who receives them.

Let people repent. Let people grow. Believe that people can change and improve.
