Always keep good company. Never waste an hour with anyone who doesn't lift you up and encourage you.

It is in the doing that the real blessing comes. Do it! That's our motto.

Each of us has more opportunities to do good and to be good than we ever use.

If we live in such a way that the considerations of eternity press upon us, we will make better decisions.

Brethren, 225,000 of you are here tonight. I suppose 225,000 of you may become gods. There seems to be plenty of space out there in the universe. And the Lord has proved that he knows how to do it. I think he could make, or probably have us help make, worlds for all of us, for every one of us 225,000.

We note the increasing coarseness of language and understand how Lot must have felt when he was, according to Peter, "vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked." (2 Peter2:7.) We wonder why those of coarse and profane conversation, even if they refuse obedience to God's will, are so stunted mentally that they let their capacity to communicate grow more and more narrow. Language is like music; we rejoice in beauty, range, and quality in both, and we are demeaned by the repetition of a few sour notes.

A true Latter–day Saint family is a haven against the storms and struggles of life.
