Ah, Moon of my Delight who knowest no wane, The Moon of Heav'n is rising once again; How oft hereafter rising shall she look Through this same Garden after me -- in vain! ~Edward Fitz Gerald, The Rubayyat of Omar Khayyam |

I learned to shoot accurately, for my teachers held the targets. Maxine Hong Kingston, The Woman Warrior |

... those who spend the Lord's money to build up his kingdom and further its interests shall do so as though it all came from the mites of sorrowing widows. ~Bruce R. McConkie, Mortal Messiah Book 3 |

What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies. ~Aristotle |
||||||||
|
|
||||||||
|
Friendship is not what we take from others but what we give to others -- not so much in material gifts as the gifts of compassion, sincerity, understanding. It is instilling courage in someone else. It is the transfer of some of our self-respect to others. It is the sharing of our confidence in ourselves with others. It is the gift of what we are to others. ~Maxwll Maltz, Creative Living for Today |

To be able to love a butterfly we must care for a few caterpillars. |

No one ever said it was going to easy but this is rediculous. |
||||||||
|
|

I finally got it all together -- but I forgot where I put it. |

To err is human: to really foul things up requires a computer. |
||||||||

|
A friend is one who know you as you are, understands were you have been, accepts who you've become and still invites you gently to grow. |
||||||||
|
|
||||||||
|
The important thing is this: to be able to sacrifice at any moment what we are for what we may become. ~Charles Dubois |

May you have just enough clouds in your life to make a beautiful sunset. |

If we learn by our mistakes I'm getting a fantastic education. |

Happiness is like a butterfly. The more you chase it the more it will elude you. But if you turn your attention to other things, it comes and softly sits |
||||||||
|
|
||||||||
|
When you are lonely I wish you love. When you are down I wish you joy. When you are troubled I wish you peace. When things are complicated I wish you simple beauty When things are chaotic I wish you silence. When things look empty I wish you hope. |

Beware, be still, be prudent, repent, reform, but do it in a way not to destroy all around you. ~Joseph Smith, address to Relief Society |
||||||||
|
|
||||||||
|
... by constantly holding the defects of others in his own mind, he ruins his own ability to see and appreciate the virtue of his fellows, thus stifling his nobler self. ~Joseph F. Smith, Gospel Doctrine |
||||||||
|
|
||||||||
|
I shall know why -- When Time is over -- And I have ceased to wonder why -- Christ will explain each separate anguish In the fair schoolroom of the sky -- He will tell me what "Peter" promised -- and I -- for wonder at his woe -- I shall forget the drop of anguish That scalds me now -- that scalds me now! ~Emily Dickinson (193 Peter's promise see Acts 2:38-39) |

The former cabinet officer [Elliot Richardson] said he recognized that there are in any organization those who put their own self-aggrandizement first and will be tempted to betray others to gain their own ends. But to openly acknowledge their tendancy is to "give them a license" psychologically to undercut others deliberately ... Trust begets trust, and even those who may not have been, as an original matter, totally trustworthy will find it hard to let down that trust that has been placed in them. ~Elliot Richardson, (taken from BYU Today) |

|
... attacking is not solving, complaining is not thinking,, and ridiculing is not reasoning. ~Thomas S. Monson, 1981 BYU Graduation |
||||||||
|
|
||||||||
|
We cannot escape the influence our lives have upon others. Ours is the opportunity to build, to lift, to inspire and to lead. But the power to lead is the power to mislead; the power to mislead is the power to destroy. Therefore we cannot be careless in our reach. Lives of others depend on us. ~Thomas S. Monson |
||||||||
|
|
||||||||
| There is no road to the heart of God that does not lead through the heart of man. | ||||||||
|
|

|
Life is larger and lovelier than any of its problems, the beautiful peaceful moments in your life will come again and again. ~Jeffrey R. Holland |
||||||||
|
|
||||||||
|
Suffering and hardships do not, as a rule, abate the love of life: They seem on the contrary, usually to give it keener zest. ~William James |
||||||||
|
|
||||||||
|
A thousand and one worthy causes -- and plenty of unworthy ones -- will compete for your time and your talent. Remember, you cannot do everything. You cannot buy everything. You cannot be everything. But what you should do you can do. And what you ought to be, with God's help, you will be. ~Jeffrey R. Holland |

Only he who fails to practice fails to become. ~Sterling W. Sill |
||||||||
|
|

|
I think we are not safe because we say we intend to do what's right. I think the people who are safe are those who "have taken the Holy Spirit for their guide and have not been deceived." These are they who "shall not be hewn down and cast into the fire, but shall abide the day." ~Marion G. Romney |
||||||||
|
|
||||||||
|
To have the Holy Spirit with us as he speaks of it here, (see D&C 45) ... is to be guided by revelation from heaven. I know that such guidance can be had. ~Marion G. Romney |
||||||||
|
|
||||||||
|
... as I remember, when I was confirmed, the Holy Ghost was not directed to come to me; I was directed to "receive the Holy Ghost." If I receive the Holy Ghost and follow his guidance, I will be among those who are protected and carried through these troubed times. And so will you, and so will every other soul who lives under his direcdtion. "If ye are prepared, ye need not fear."
~Marion G. Romney |

The impossible takes a little longer. |

A mind once stretched to a new idea never returns to its original dimensions again. ~Oliver Wendell Holmes |
||||||||
|
|
||||||||
|
I walked a mile with pleasure; She chatted all the way. But I was none the wiser When pleasure went away. I walked a mile with sorrow; Not a word said she. But, oh, the things I learned When sorrow walked with me. |

Men and women who turn their lives over to God will find out that he can make a lot more out of their lives than they can. He will deepen their joys, expand their vision, quicken their minds, strengthen their muscles, lift their spirits, multiply their blessings, increase their opportunities, comfort their souls, raise up friends and pour out peace. Whoever will lose his life to God will find he has eternal life. ~Ezra Taft Benson |

Proverbs 31:25-31 The lonely hours When she's away? How does he measure happiness When he receives her welcome home At close of day? And when the crisis comes And he, with bared head And clenced fist Confronts the world alone With fear, She stands one step behind And whispers "Courage" In his ear. Without her he is one alone Amidst the throng. With her he is as though Ten thousand strong. ~Elder S. Dilworth Young |
