The Book of Mormon is to be feasted upon, not nibbled.

When at length we tire of putting people down, this self-inflicted fatigue can give way to the invigorating calisthenics of lifting people up.

We cannot improve the world if we are conformed to the world.

The winds of tribulation, which blow out some men's candles of commitment, only fan the fires of faith of others.

These really are our days, and we can prevail and overcome, even in the midst of trends that are very disturbing.
