Wherever you have a plot of land, however small, plant a garden. Staying close to the soil is good for the soul.

It is in the doing that the real blessing comes. Do it! That's our motto.

Of all treasures of knowledge, the most vital is the knowledge of God, his existence, powers, love, and promises.

Let us hold fast to the iron rod. The Savior urged us to put our hand to the plow without looking back. In that spirit we are being asked to have humility and a deep and abiding faith in the Lord and to move forward-trusting in him, refusing to be diverted from our course, either by the ways of the world or the praise of the world.

Preparedness, when properly pursued, is a way of life, not a sudden, spectacular program.

You women are daughters of God. You are precious. You are made in the image of our Heavenly Mother.

My plea therefore is this: Let us get our instruments tightly strung and our melodies sweetly sung. Let us not die with our music still in us. Let us rather use this precious mortal probation to move confidently and gloriously upward toward the eternal life which God our Father gives to those who keep his commandments.
