And this one from Julie Beck: “The ability to qualify for, receive, and act upon personal revelation is the single most important skill that can be acquired in this life.”
Neal A. Maxwell: “If, indeed, the things allotted to each were divinely customized according to our ability and capacity, then for us to seek to wrench ourselves free of every schooling circumstance in mortality is to tear ourselves away from matched opportunities.”
Mother Teresa , “Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time and always start with the person nearest you.”
President Monson , “Needed are...[souls] filled with compassion, that we might communicate not only eye to eye, or voice to ear, but in the majestic style of the Savior, even heart to heart."
Yes, I still post the occasional light-hearted quote, such as “Fat People Are Harder to Kidnap,” and “I’m the Queen Because My Pantyhose Say So,”
"Our Father in Heaven is not an umpire who is trying to count us out. He is not a competitor who is trying to outsmart us. He is not a prosecutor who is trying to convict us. he is a loving Father Who wants out happiness and eternal progress and everlasting opportunity and glorious accomplishment, and Who will help us all He can if we will but give Him, in our lives, the opportunity to do so with obedience and humility and faith and patience. (Richard L. Evans, October Gen Confer, 1956) "Please remember this one thing...if our lives and our faith are centered upon Jesus Christ and His restored Gospel, nothing can ever go permanently wrong. On the other hand, if our lives are not centered on the Savior and His teachings, no other success can ever be permanently right." (President Howard W. Hunter)
"To believe in God is to know that all the rules are fair, and that there will be wonderful surprises." (Ugo Betti, as quoted by Elder Marion D. Hanks, Oct 1992 General Conference)
