Young men do not usually become inactive in the Church because they are given too many significant things to do.

I find that when I get casual in my relationships with divinity and when it seems that no divine ear is listening and no divine voice is speaking, that I am far, far away. If I immerse myself in the scriptures the distance narrows and the spirituality returns. 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.

Strength and struggle travel together.

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

The more we are guided by eternal considerations in our conduct, the better we will manage our mortality.

The more we serve our fellowmen in appropriate ways, the more substance there is to our souls. We become more significant individuals as we serve others. We become more substantive as we serve others—indeed, it is easier to “find” ourselves because there is so much more of us to find!

I am not afraid of death. What I am afraid of is that I will meet the Saviour and He will say, 'You could have done better'
