The hardest work you and I will ever do is to put off our selfishness. It is heavy lifting!

We may never become accustomed to untrue and unjust criticism of us but we ought not to be immobilized by it.

Within what is allotted to us, we can have spiritual contentment.

When in situations of stress we wonder if there is any more in us to give, we can be comforted to know that God, who knows our capacity perfectly, placed us here to succeed

So much depends, therefore, upon our maintaining gospel perspective in the midst of ordinariness, the pressures of temptation, tribulation, deprivation, and the cares of the world.

For some Church members the Book of Mormon remains unread. Others use it occasionally as if it were merely a handy book of quotations. Still others accept and read it but do not really explore and ponder it. The book is to be feasted upon, not nibbled (see 2 Nephi 31:20).

Coming unto the Lord is not a negotiation, but a surrender.
