We're not alone--at least, we're alone only if we choose to be alone. We're alone only if we choose to go through life relying solely on our own strength rather than learning to draw upon the power of God.

Think about what there is to learn from your heritage, good and bad, and about what you want to cultivate and not cultivate.

Thus, when we plead for the gift of charity, we aren't asking for lovely feelings toward someone who bugs us or someone who has injured or wounded us. We are actually pleading for our very natures to be changed, for our character and disposition to become more and more like the Savior's, so that we literally feel as He would feel and thus do what He would do.

We are here to influence the world rather than to be influenced by the world.

No woman who understands the gospel would ever think that any other work is more important or would ever say, "I am just a mother," for mothers heal the souls of men.

We don't really know what we believe in or care about until what we believe in or care about is threatened, challenged, or measured.

Look to the Lord and not to the world for your ideas and ideals about men and women.
