Our friends should be companions who inspire us, who help us rise to our best.

Sometimes we should express our gratitude for the small and simple things like the scent of the rain, the taste of your favorite food, or the sound of a loved one's voice.

There is no real joy that does not involve self-denial and self-discipline

As with the butterfly, adversity is necessary to build character in people. As you overcome adversity in your life, you will become stronger.

Kindness is the essence of greatness.

The Lord will never forsake or abandon anyone, You may abandon him, but he will not abandon you. You never need to feel that you are alone.

Living the gospel does not mean the storms of life will pass us by, but we will be better prepared to face them with serenity and peace. 'Search diligently, pray always, and be believing,' the Lord admonished, 'and all things shall work together for your good, if ye walk uprightly.'
