Those who make happiness the chief objective of life are bound to fail, for happiness is a by-product rather than an end in itself.

The most treasured and sacred moments of our lives are those filled with the spirit of love. The greater the measure of our love, the greater is our joy. In the end, the development of such love is the true measure of success in life.

The church is not a place where perfect people gather to say perfect things, or have perfect thoughts, or have perfect feelings. The Church is a place where imperfect people gather to provide encouragement, support, and service to each other as we press on in our journey to return to our Heavenly Father.

The simple secret is this: put your trust in the Lord, do your best, then leave the rest to Him.

We see ourselves as yesterday and today. Heavenly Father sees us as forever.

The place to cure most of the ills of society is in the homes of the people.

I believe that perseverance is vital to success in any endeavor, whether spiritual or temporal, large or small, public or personal. . . . All significant achievement results largely from perseverance.
