The nation is built upon the foundation of its homes and the home upon its families.

Your faith will perform miracles, especially when you get your hands and feet involved.

If you are going to err, err on the side of mercy.

Wherever you have a plot of land, however small, plant a garden. Staying close to the soil is good for the soul.

Working toward perfection is not a one time decision but a process to be pursued throughout one's lifetime.

Let us hold fast to the iron rod. The Savior urged us to put our hand to the plow without looking back. In that spirit we are being asked to have humility and a deep and abiding faith in the Lord and to move forward-trusting in him, refusing to be diverted from our course, either by the ways of the world or the praise of the world.

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