D&C 98:3
"Hardships can deprive mortals of the power to ACT. But at the same time, hardships can be the means of eternal growth in ATTITUDE and DESIRE. If endured with the right attitude and accompanied by righteous desires, suffering and deprivation can be the agency of great growth in our spirits."
"God many times answers our prayers not by bringing down His will to ours; but lifting us up to Himself. We grow strong; so as to need no longer cry for relief. We can bear the heavy load without asking to have it lightened. We can keep the sorrow now and endure it. We can go on in quiet peace without the new blessing which we thought so necessary. We have not been saved from the battle we shrank so from entering; but we have sought and have gained the victory. Is not victoriousness in conflict better than being freed from the struggle? Is not peace in the midst of the storm and the strife better than to be lifted together over the strife?"
"Giving is the secret of a healthy life...not necessarily money, but whatever a man has of encouragement and sympathy and understanding."
"If people spent as much time praying as they do grumbling, they would soon have nothing to grumble about."
Harold B. Lee
"Forgiveness takes the burden of hate, guilt, and bitterness off your back and, with a lighter load, you can climb higher and faster, and be much happier in the process."
"Physically fit people are more intellectually inclined, emotionally stable, composed, self-confident, easy-going and relaxed."
Larochefoucauld
"Failure itself can be a success if 3 questions are answered:
(1) What happened?
(2) What caused it?
(3) What can I learn
from
this experience?
Quoted by LeGrand Richards
Charlie Brown
"Many of the great achievements of the world were accomplished by tired and discouraged men who kept on working."
"Don't ask the Lord to guide your footsteps unless you are willing to move your feet."
