Whenever I have a serious problem or some assignment of a creative nature...I always receive more assistance in the early morning hours than at any other time of the day.

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

Prayer is the instrument of miracles.

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

The Holy Ghost converts [us] from carnality to spirituality. It cleanses, heals, and purifies the soul. . . . . Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, repentance, and water baptism are all preliminary and prerequisite to it, but [the baptism of fire] is the consummation. To receive [this baptism of fire] is to have one's garments washed in the atoning blood of Jesus Christ.

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

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