Happily, though we must each walk through life on our own, we don't have to do it alone.

Life, like classical music, is full of difficult passages that are conquered as much through endurance and determination as through any particular skill.

There is a direct relationship between our personal experience with the Lord and how we see ourselves. The closer we grow to him, the more clear and complete becomes our vision of who we are, who we have always been, and who we may become.

On those days when we're not ready to stop being offended, not ready to forgive, still determined to dish out the silent treatment, what we're actually saying is, "Thanks, but I don't want to become more like the Savior today. Maybe tomorrow, but not today." Perhaps those are the times when we need to pray the hardest, the times it becomes clear that a change in behavior is not enough--that we must have a change in nature.

No amount of time in front of the mirror will make you as attractive as having the Holy Ghost with you.

If we don't do as well as we know how and we are prepared to do, it'll be largely because we act and make choices as though we're going to stay here, as though this life is all there is, when that is not the case.

None of us come to this earth to gain our worth; we brought it with us.
