We, more than others, should carry jumper and tow cables not only in our cars, but also in our hearts, by which means we can send the needed boost or charge of encouragement or the added momentum to mortal neighbors.

A good friend, who knows whereof he speaks, has observed of trials, ‘If it’s fair, it is not a true trial!’ That is, without the added presence of some inexplicableness and some irony and injustice, the experience may not stretch us or lift us sufficiently. The crucifixion of Christ was clearly the greatest injustice in human history, but the Savior bore up under it with majesty and indescribable valor.

It is our job to lift others up, not to size them up.

Love, patience, and meekness can be just as contagious as rudeness and crudeness.

Sometimes the best people... have the worst experiences... because they are ready to learn

The cavity which suffering carves into our souls will one day also be the receptacle of joy.

Each day I see all about me the fruits of commandment-keeping.
