It is our duty to save the world. That is our mission, insofar as they will listen unto us and receive our testimony.

Self-discipline is doing what you know you should do when you don't want to do it.

It is easy to do things for our own families and loved ones, but to give of our substance for the stranger who is in need is the real test of our charity and love for our fellowmen.

It is too late if we wait until the moment of temptation before making our decision.

An honest, sincerely stated compliment helps to build character; criticism destroys it.

The most difficult thing for us seems to be to give of ourselves, to do away with selfishness. If we really love someone, nothing is too difficult for us to do for that individual.

I observed that the successful farmer worked at his job. He would do his plowing, disking, harrowing, seeding, and harvesting in the proper season and at the proper time, while his neighbor was procrastinating, or off hunting and fishing while the work was still to be done. We must learn to set our priorities straight. No one can be successful in his line of work unless he works at it in the proper season and plays in the proper season.
