Often our self-esteem is bruised by criticism.

We are poor in character when we think getting by is a substitute for doing our best.

God has given each of us one or more special talents....It is up to each of us to search for and build upon the gifts which God has given.

Where you have been is not nearly as important as where you are and where you're going.

A quality person is someone with integrity. To be worthy of the highest trust is a noble attribute and compliment. You will need to maintain confidences. Certainly it is greater to be trusted than loved. Truly happy persons will always be totally honest in their dealings with their fellowman.

When a mother asked her small child how he fell out of bed, he answered, "Because I wasn't in far enough." Let me just say in passing that it has been my experience that most people who fall out of the Church do so because they were not in far enough.

The world is filled with too many of us who are inclined to indicate our love with an announcement or declaration. True love is a process. True love requires personal action. Love must be continuing to be real. Love takes time.
