In true marriage there must be a union of minds as well as of hearts. Emotions must not wholly determine decisions, but the mind and the heart, strengthened by fasting and prayer and serious consideration, will give one a maximum chance of marital happiness.

By one means or another, the swiftest method of rejection of the holy prophets has been to find a pretext, however false or absurd, to dismiss the man so that his message could also be dismissed.

Success is not measured in achievement of goals, but in the stress and strain of meeting those goals

I believe in goals, but I believe that the individual should set his own. Goal setting should cause us to stretch as we make our way.

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

No father, no son, no mother, no daughter should get so busy that he or she does not have time to study the scriptures and the words of modern prophets. None of us should get so busy that we crowd out contemplation and praying. None of us should become so busy in our formal Church assignments that there is no room left for quiet Christian service to our neighbors.

Do not make small goals because they do not have the magic to stir men's souls.
