We can make our houses homes and our homes heavens.

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

I go down the street, I say hello to everybody, a stranger or otherwise. I know that they do not know me, but I like to say hello and I think they appreciate it. I notice their faces light up with a smile and I believe that if all the people in our great city...would do that, the whole world would begin to say it is the "Friendly City." You can do a tremendous thing here. We get so absorbed, we do not always speak to our friends. Speak to them, even strangers, you are not going to give offense.

One can hardly help another to the top of the hill without climbing there himself.

What could you do better for your children and your children's children than to record the story of your life, your triumphs over adversity, your recovery after a fall, your progress when all seemed black, your rejoicing when you had finally achieved? Some of what you write may be humdrum dates and places, but there will also be rich passages that will be quoted by your posterity.

In the kingdom, the greater our responsibilities, the greater is our need to see ourselves as servants.

Let no family go into eternity without having left their memoirs for their children, their grandchildren, and their posterity.
