If there were no tribulation, there would be no rest; if there were no winter, there would be no summer.

When we once begin to form good resolutions, God gives us every opportunity of carrying them out.

If repentance is neglected for an instant, one can lose the power of the Resurrection as he lives with the weakness of tepidity and the potential of his fall.

When we teach our children to be good, to be gentle, to be forgiving (all these are attributes of God), to be generous, to love their follow men, to regard this present age as nothing, we instill virtue in their souls, and reveal the image of God within them.

God helps those who work, not those who are idle. No one helps an inactive person, but one who joins in the labor. The good God himself will bring...work to perfection.

Prayer is the root, the fountain, the mother of a thousand blessings.

Laughter has been implanted in our soul, that the soul may sometime be refreshed.
