Be the one who nurtures and builds. Be the one who has an understanding and a forgiving heart one who looks for the best in people. Leave people better than you found them.

In times of hurt and discouragement, it may be consoling for all of us to recall that no one can do anything permanently to us that will last for eternity. Only we ourselves can affect our eternal progression.

It is not so important whether a young man has been through the experience of a mission as it is whether the mission experience has been through him.

The direction in which we are moving is more important than where we are at the moment. Goal setting should cause us to stretch as we make our way.

The best and most clear indicator that we are progressing spiritually and coming unto Christ is the way we treat other people.

God grant to all of us the power and strength to be people of integrity, and the insight and wisdom to avoid being led into the snares of the dishonest.

If we could look into each other’s hearts and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.
