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.

True leaders understand that leadership is not about them but about those they serve. It is not about exalting themselves but about lifting others up.

No woman is a more vibrant instrument in the hands of the Lord than a woman of God who is thrilled to be who she is.

The most effective way to share the gospel is to live it. When we live like disciples of Christ should live, when we aren't just good but happy to be good, others will be drawn to us.

Few of us will reach our potential without the nurturing of both the mother who bore us and the mothers who bear with us.

No marriage or family, no ward or stake is likely to reach its full potential until husbands and wives, mothers and fathers, men and women work together in unity of purpose.

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