Leadership is the ability to encourage the best efforts of others in working toward a desirable goal.

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

We must be trained to clarify minds, heal broken hearts, and create homes where sunshine will make an environment in which mental and spiritual health may be nurtured. Our schooling must not only teach us how to bridge the Niagara River gorge, or the Golden Gate, but must teach us how to bridge the deep gaps of misunderstanding and hate and discord in the world.

It is important for us also to cultivate in our own family a sense that we belong together eternally, that whatever changes outside our home, there are fundamental aspects of our relationship which will never change.

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

I am comforted by the assurance that there will be beautiful music in heaven, and for that I am most grateful.

There are great challenges ahead of us, giant opportunities to be met. I welcome that exciting prospect and feel to say to the Lord, humbly, 'Give me this MOUNTAIN,' give me these challenges.
