Our culture places a very high premium on self-expression, but is relatively disinterested in producing "selves" that are worth expressing.

If you don't have time to pray and read the scriptures, you are busier than God ever intended you to be.

The world is full of men and women who work too much, sleep too little, hardly ever exercise, eat poorly, and are always struggling or failing to find adequate time with their families. We are in a perpetual hurry-constantly rushing from one activity to another, with little understanding of where all this activity is leading us. . . . The world has gone and got itself in an awful rush, to whose benefit I do not know. We are too busy for our own good. We need to slow down. Our lifestyles are destroying us. The worst part is, we are rushing east in search of a sunset.

Striving humbly but heroically to live by what is good, true, and noble in the midst of - and in spite of - the modern climate.

The measure of your life will be the measure of your courage.
