Now, we have the Holy Ghost. Each one of us who is a member of the Church has had hands laid upon his head and has been given, as far as an ordinance can give it, the gift of the Holy Ghost. But, as I remember, when I was confirmed, the Holy Ghost was not directed to come to me; I was directed to "receive the Holy Ghost." If I receive the Holy Ghost and follow his guidance, I will be among those who are protected and carried through these troubled times. And so will you, and so will every other soul who lives under his direction. If ye are prepared, ye need not fear.

The key to happiness is to get the spirit and keep it.

Pondering is, in my feeling, a form of prayer.

While the Lord will magnify us in both subtle and dramatic ways, he can only guide our footsteps when we move our feet.

Self-Reliance is a prerequisite to the complete freedom to act.

Prayer is the instrument of miracles.

It has always seemed somewhat paradoxical to me that we must constantly have the Lord command us to do those things which are for our own good.
