What we insistently desire, over time, is what we become.

Every dimension of the gospel is relevant to one or more of our social and political problems of our time.

There are certain mortal moments and minutes that matter. Certain hingepoints in the history of each human. Some seconds are so decisive they shrink the soul, while others are spent, so as to stretch the soul.

Thus it is that our faith and trust in our Heavenly Father, so far as this mortal experience is concerned, consists not simply of faith and gladness that He exists, but is also a faith and trust that, if we are humble, He will tutor us, aiding our acquisition of needed attributes and experiences while we are in mortality. We trust not only the Designer but also His design of life itself, including our portion thereof!

The laughter of the world is merely loneliness pathetically trying to reassure itself.

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

The enlarging of the soul requires not only some remodeling, but some excavating.
