Let me begin now, this very night, to emulate Christ. Cast off forever will be the old self and with it defeat, despair, doubt, and disbelief. To a newness of life I come--a life of faith, hope courage, and joy. No task looms too large; no responsibility too heavy; no duty is a burden. All things become possible.

Choose your friends carefully, for you will tend to be like them and be found where they choose to go.

The spirit of Christmas is the spirit of love and of generosity and of goodness. It illuminates the picture window of the soul, and we look out upon the world's busy life and become more interested in people than in things.

There are lives to brighten. There are hearts to touch. There are souls to save.

Happiness comes when we stop complaining about the troubles we have and offer thanks for all the troubles we don't have.

Through humble prayer, diligent preparation, and faithful service, we can succeed in our sacred callings.

Choose your love; love your choice.
