Truly we work and live on a streetful of splendid people, whom we are to love and serve even if they are uninterested in us!

There is no democracy of facts.

Image
The prompting that goes unresponded to may not be repeated. Writing down what we have been prompted with is vital. A special thought can be lost later in the day through the rough and tumble of life. God should not, and may not, choose to repeat the prompting if we assign what is given such a low priority as to put it aside.

Selfishness is much more than an ordinary problem because it activates all the cardinal sins! It is the detonator in the breaking of the Ten Commandments.

God does not begin by asking us about our ability, but only about our availability, and if we then prove our dependability, he will increase our capability.

Men and Women of Christ magnify their callings without magnifying themselves.

For some Church members the Book of Mormon remains unread. Others use it occasionally as if it were merely a handy book of quotations. Still others accept and read it but do not really explore and ponder it. The book is to be feasted upon, not nibbled (see 2 Nephi 31:20).

When we rejoice in beautiful scenery, great art, and great music, it is but the flexing of instincts acquired in another place and another time.

Anger should never be an overnight guest.
