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.

The efficacy of our prayers depends on how much we care for one another.

It is perfectly evident...that to thank the Lord in all things is not merely a courtesy, it is a commandment as binding upon us as any other commandment

When earth life is over and things appear in their true perspective, we shall more clearly see and realize what the Lord and his prophets have repeatedly told us, that the fruits of the gospel are the only objectives worthy of life's full efforts. Their possessor obtains true wealth - wealth in the Lord's view of values. We need constantly to deepen our understandings and sharpen our realization of what the fruits of the gospel are. The Lord has defined them as . . . peace in this world, and eternal life in the world to come.

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

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

We will see the day when we live on what we produce.
