"The marvelous truths of the Restoration respond to these questions and are highly global, highly personal, and even galactic in their dimensions. Identity exists amid immensity. We are enclosed in divine purposes! There is no need for despair! No wonder the restored gospel is such 'good news.'"
-Neal A. Maxwell

"Every man and every person who lives in this world wields an influence, whether for good or for evil. It is not what he says alone, it is not alone what he does. It is what he is. Every man, every person radiates what he or she really is....It is what we are and what we radiate that affects the people around us.

"As individuals, we must think nobler thoughts. We must not encourage vile thoughts or low aspirations. We shall radiate them if we do. If we think noble aspirations, there will be that radiation when we meet people, especially when we associate with them."
- President David O. McKay

"Clouds, like children, open. They do not doubt, they open and pour, open and give."

A Study of Shoulders

You underestimate your shoulders. 
They are not a series of 
muscles, ligaments, tendons, 
where the humerus and scapula meet. 
They are emptying fields, 
living sunlight, blazing 
altars for hands, lips, 
a curving distance of sighs and weights, 
a thousand brush strokes 
of velvet and weather, 
a world where you 
carry your heart. 

--Terresa Wellborn 

"Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God."

Peace

"Peace is when you can turn a corner without apprehension and look in the eye those you meet;it is the supremacy over fear, not fearlessness, but the courage to go forward in spite of fear; it is the hearing of the telephone bell without a start; the opening of your door to the police without a quiver; the receiving of a telegram without a tremble."

-President Spencer W. Kimball
