Impoverished is the life fenced in with few friends

We are not measured by the trials we meet -- only by those we overcome.

It is not easy to be at peace in today’s troubled world. Necessarily peace is a personal acquisition. … It can be attained only through maintaining constantly a repentant attitude, seeking forgiveness of sins both large and small, and thus coming ever closer to God.

No true Latter-Day Saint, while physically or emotionally able will voluntarily shift the burden of his own or his family's well-being to someone else. So long as he can, under the inspiration of the Lord and with his own labors, he will supply himself and his family with the spiritual and temporal necessities of life.

There are many upright and faithful who live all the commandments and whose lives and prayers keep the world from destruction.

Man can be literally transformed by his own repentance and by God's gift of forgiveness.
