You young men need to know that you can hardly achieve your highest potential without the influence of a good women, particularly you mother, and in a few years, a good wife.

Obedience allows God’s blessings to flow without constraint. He will bless His obedient children with freedom from bondage and misery. And He will bless them with more light.

We were born to die and we die to live. As seedlings of God, we barely blossom on earth; we fully flower in heaven.

Be patient with yourself. Perfection comes not in this life, but in the next life. Don't demand things that are unreasonable, but demand of yourself improvement. As you let the Lord help you through that, He will make the difference.

As we go through life, even through very rough waters, a father's instinctive impulse to cling tightly to his wife or to his children may not be the best way to accomplish his objective.

It is important for you to know who you are and who you may become. It is more important than what you do, even as vital as your work is and will be.

Inner peace comes only as we maintain the integrity of truth in all aspects of our lives.
