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

We are not measured by the trials we meet -- only by those we overcome.

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.

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

You women are daughters of God. You are precious. You are made in the image of our Heavenly Mother.

One of the most important and rewarding ways in which we can serve our fellowmen is by living and sharing the principles of the gospel. We need to help those whom we seek to serve to know for themselves that God not only loves them but he is ever mindful of them and their needs. To teach our neighbors of the divinity of the gospel is a command reiterated by the Lord: 'It becometh every man who hath been warned to warn his neighbor' (D&C 88:81).
