Discouragement is not the absence of adequacy but the absence of courage.

God will facilitate, but He will not force.

It is extremely important for you to believe in yourselves, not only for what you are now, but for what you have the power to become.

When one comes to know God and His Son Jesus Christ through the scriptures, the Spirit, and personal revelation, it is impossible to feel anything other than overwhelmed by the attributes so perfectly developed in them and so tentatively and superficially developed in oneself. Even so, we are told to strive to become like them.

Pure religion is having the courage to do what is right and let the consequence follow.

Why is it that for many persons changing others is so exciting and so relevant, while changing oneself is so boring and irrelevant?

Discouragement is not the absence of adequacy but the absence of courage.
