Charity must become a fundamental state of mind and heart that guides us in all we do.

Kind words not only lift our spirits in the moment they are given, but they can linger with us over the years.

Our destiny and ultimate fate depend upon our daily decisions. . . .Tomorrow's joy or tomorrow's despair has its roots in decisions we make today. . . . Those who stand at the threshold of life always waiting for the right time to change are like the man who stands at the bank of a river waiting for the water to pass so he can cross on dry land.

Too many sit at the banquet table of the gospel of Jesus Christ and merely nibble at the feast placed before them. They go through the motions - attending their meetings perhaps, glancing at scriptures, repeating familiar prayers - but their hearts are far away.

Each minute is a little thing, and yet, with respect to our personal productivity, to manage the minute is the secret of success.

Nephi taught that by clinging to the word of God, as though it be a handrail, we would be able to avoid temptations and not lose our way in darkness. Thus, we would remain on the narrow path.

Please do not lose hope in the Savior and His love for you. It is constant. He promised that He would not leave us comfortless.
