Why can't we resist the urge to second-guess and evaluate each other?...Sometimes I wonder if the final judgment will be a breeze compared with what we've put each other through here on earth. p 225

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

It is not possible to sin enough to be happy. It isn't possible to buy enough to be happy, or to entertain or indulge or pamper ourselves enough to be happy. It is not possible to hide enough or run far enough away from trials and troubles to be happy. Happiness and joy come only when we are living up to who we are... I have never met anyone who was happier because he was immoral, or because he was addicted to something, or because he was dishonest and compromised his integrity.

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

The last days are not for the faint of heart or the spiritually out of shape.

There isn't anyone who wants to see me married more than I do.

For the Holy Ghost blesses us with optimism and wisdom at times of challenge that we simply cannot muster on our own.
