Love people, not things; use things, not people.

Goals should always be made to a point that will make us reach and strain.

Goals are good. Laboring with a distant aim sets the mind in a higher key and puts us at our best.

Great women and men are always more anxious to serve than to have dominion.

If I immerse myself in the scriptures...I find myself loving more intensely those whom I must love with all my heart and mind and strength, and loving them more. I find it easier to abide their counsel.

Do not pray to marry the one that you love, but to love the one that you marry.

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.
