Charity is having patience with someone who has let us down. It is resisting the impulse to become offended easily. It is accepting weaknesses and shortcomings. It is accepting people as they truly are. It is looking beyond physical appearances to attributes that will not dim through time. It is resisting the impulse to categorize others.

A woman needs to be told she is beautiful. She needs to be told she is valued. She needs to be told she is worthwhile.

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

The courage to say no, the courage to say yes. Decisions do determine Destiny.

As a result of the sacred ordinances performed in the holy house of God, no light need be permanently extinguished, no voice permanently stilled, no place in our heart permanently left vacant.

The good you have done, the kind words you have spoken, the love you have shown to others, can never be fully measured.

To express gratitude is gracious and honorable, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live with gratitude ever in our hearts is to touch heaven.
