My life is like my shoes, worn out by service.

He who cannot learn by others' mistakes is stupid. He who cannot learn by his own errors is a fool.

Sin is the result of deep and unmet needs.

What are we to fear when the Lord is with us? Can we not take the Lord at his word and exercise a particle of faith in him?

Speaking the Lord’s name with reverence must simply be part of our lives as members of the Church... we do not use foul language. We do not curse or defame. We do not use the Lord’s name in vain. It is not difficult to become perfect in avoiding a swearing habit, for if one locks his mouth against all words of cursing,... he is en route to perfection in that matter.

Life gives to all the choice. You can satisfy yourself with mediocrity if you wish. You can be common, ordinary, dull, colorless, or yyou can channel your life so that it will be clean, vibrant, useful, progressive, colorful, and rich.

Any excuse for non-performance, no matter how valid, weakens character.
