In sickness, with its attendant pain, patience is required. If the only perfect man who ever lived-even Jesus of Nazareth-was called upon to endure great suffering, how can we, who are less than perfect, expect to be free of such challenges?

Remember to pray fervently.

Ideals are like the stars - you can't touch them with your hands, but by following them you reach your destination.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Watch your step.

I urge you to hold fast to your standards. I plead with you not to waver.

There is absolutely nothing in this world that will provide more comfort and happiness than a testimony of the truth.

Choose a field that will supply sufficient remuneration to provide adequately for your companion and your children. I bear testimony that these criteria are very important in choosing your life's work.
