"But
the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy
to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without
hypocrisy."
(James
3:17)
"Nobody
can take away from you what you put in your own mind."
(Helen
Klein, mother of Auschwitz survivor Edith Eva Eger in her book, The Choice,
Rider, 2017)
"For
every worry under the sun
There
is a remedy or there is none.
If
there is one, hurry and find it,
If
there is none never mind it."
(LaGrand
Richards, 1886-1983, Member of the Quorum of the Twelve from 1952-1983)
"Every
morning in Africa when a gazelle wakes up, it knows it must outrun the fastest
lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows
it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn't
matter whether you're the lion or a gazelle-when the sun comes up, you'd better
be running."
(Christopher
McDougall, Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race
the World Has Never Seen)
"In
a paradoxical period when violating the sanctity of human life is heralded as a
right and chaos is described as liberty, how blessed we are to live in this
latter-day dispensation when restored gospel light can shine brightly in our
lives and help us to discern the adversary’s dark deceptions and
distractions."
(Elder
David A Bednar, Watchful unto Prayer Continually, October Conference 2019)
"My
little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in
truth."
(1 John
3:18)
"A
lot of times the Spirit doesn't tell me what to do. I have to act consistently
with what I've learned to be right."
(A
newly called bishop, Fast & Testimony Meeting, 3 November 2019, about four
months after having been called as bishop)
