Are you ready for some more??? Hope so.
Stephen R. Covey
We practice mercy. Let God deal with justice.
The church teaches principles. The Holy Ghost teaches practices.
Eric G. Stephan
Elder Hales--take everything we would like to do and then find a personal concern--what's bugging us at work or at church. Take 3 or 4 things and then decide what would make a significant difference. Then relax and do it.
Stop and ask yourself 2 questions:
1-Why am I doing this? As in why--what's the value? I--why me instead of someone else? this--instead of that? We do many things we shouldn't.
2-Why am I doing it this way?
Don't leave your energy in the gym. Work out to be invigorated, not weary.
To reach perfection a man must develop equally compassion and wisdom. Then he will neither be a good-hearted fool or a hard-hearted scholar.
Most things don't happen because there is no plan to make them happen.
Elder Russell M. Ballard
Seek the constantly for guidance from the Holy Ghost to know what to do and say and what not to do and not to say. (topic was parenting)
Dennis B. Deaton
Persuasive, patient, and long-suffering--those are God's chief ways of acting.
Benjamin J. Knowlton
Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley--I would suggest that we stop seeking out storms of life and enjoy sunlight....There is good all around us-- if we will only look for it.
E. Dale Baron
Satan wants us to be satisfied with anything short of exaltation.
Praying about every little thing for inspiration opens us to false spirits. Don't seek personal revelation on everything.
Emotions and spirit are closely linked and might mistake an emotional response for a spiritual one.
John L. Lund
God has called Jesus to save His children.
God has called me to love His children.
Terrance D. Olson
Living responsibly is better than accepting consequences.
The guilty take the truth to be hard but also always construe righteousness to be self-righteousness.
We can live in two ways. 1-to love people and use things or 2-to love things and use people
Positive peer pressure is actually friendship. Negative peer pressure is when others undermine your best interests. It is when your friends behave like enemies.
K. Douglas Bassett
If Satan can't get us to sin, he will fill our lives with clutter.
Elder Henry B. Eyring--The still, small voice is so quiet that you won't hear it when you are noisy inside.
There are things that are not sin in and of themselves, but they drive away the Spirit: anxiety, stress, fear of failure or unknown, depression.
You can answer all the temple recommend questions correctly and still not have the Spirit.
We will not be judged in comparison, but with the energy we were given.
This life is a long-distance race, so why are we always sprinting.
Too many of us want to get to heaven on a feather bed. You have to pick up a cross.
Jesus could not have calmed the sea is he had not been calm himself.
Chris and Kory J. Wright
Agency and the Law of the Harvest teach us we have a choice--jungle or farm.
Hugh Nibley--Every day there's a choice between light or dark, life or death. They go separate ways so there is no mixing.
The Lord cares about our finances. Do we include Him in our plans?
Thomas L. Tyler
We are feeling the Spirit's influence when we want to be good, do good, and be faithful.
As we respond to the Spirit's gentle touch, its effect upon us is to do the right thing for the right reasons, to be humble, and to be righteous in our assessment of things.
The usual pattern of inspiration is to place clear thoughts in our minds accompanied by feelings of rightness, peace, and assurance in the heart.
Debbie Bowen
Be clean enough to be healthy, but dirty enough to be happy.
Patricia H. Sprinkle--Never us a cannon when a water pistol will do.
It's easier to keep up than to catch up.
Learning to enjoy what we have to do leads to fulfillment.
A child's performance is proportionate to a parent's persistence.
James Jones
Lucifer's way is control--but it's impossible to control kids. Father's way is learning through choices and consequences.
When you try to control, you get mad because you can't. You fall into Satan's trap.
If you have no needs, you have no motivation.
Lynn D. Johnson
If you shift your awareness to the positive emotions, you feel happier.
Anger makes you lose about 30 points on your IQ. Don't make any decisions when you are angry.
What we think literally shapes our brain--like a muscle.
When you don't blame people for things they actually try harder.
S. Michael Wilcox
Naaman the Leper (dipped in river 7 times to become clean)...what if he quit at the 6th dip? Don't be a 6-dip Mormon!
R. Colleen Harrison
Journal-writing is not about exact details but about lesson's learned.

Whatever the Lord commands is right.
Clyde J. Williams
The Holy Ghost doesn't prompt us to be sarcastic or to make cutting remarks.
