OK, this makes 6 down with 2 more to go.
A. Lynn Scoresby
Yale President said we are drowning in a sea of information but starving for knowledge.
We don't have a testimony because of activities at church, but they give a chance to build relationships that lead to testimony.
A sin is a sin because it hurts people.
S. Michael Wilcox
If the Savior asks or invites, the assumption must be: "I can do it."
Sometimes it seems like we are asked to do impossible things: reject and resist every temptation; overcome addiction; change our character, personality, thought patterns; master a talent; fulfill an unwanted calling; forgive the unforgivable; trust a God who allows incredible suffering and cruelty; consecrate all you have; let go prejudices, biases, hatreds; work ethically in a dog-eat-dog world.
If He asks me, He's going to help me.
Sometimes the grace that God gives us is just the ability to try again--not remove the problem.
The real you is you at your best, not at your worst, and that is how God sees us and how we should see each other.
Sometimes we try to walk on water that God never wanted us to. Don't walk on the wrong sea.
Michael W. Allred
Whether or not they had a personal spiritual experience is what kept youth from being delinquent--not FHE, etc, but we have FHE, etc, in hopes they will have a spiritual experience.
Elder Scott--I am now much less moved to help people with the things that I have learned. Rather I am powerfully motivated to share with them how the lessons were learned.
Scriptures should be our original source. Read and ponder more what the Lord said and less what others have said about what the Lord has said. (Ezra Taft Benson?)
Randall A. Wright
Jesus' strongest rebuke was to those who buried their talents.
There never was a revelation without a question first.
The piece of advice given by Harold B. Lee to Marion G. Romney when Pres. Romney was called to be an assistant to the Twelve--If you are to be successful as a General Authority, I will give you one piece of advice: Go to bed early and get up early.
It takes more discipline to go to bed early than to get up early.
Advertisers use target marketing...placing ads when the desired demographic will be watched. BMWs and Mercedes are advertised at 5 am and Yugos at midnight.
Joseph F. McConkie
The issue isn't whether God loves you--that's a given. The issue is whether He trusts you or not.
Missionaries that are released are now agents unto themselves. Can they continue to grow as when an instrument?
Jack S. Marshall
Pres. Howard W. Hunter--Despair, doom, and gloom are not acceptable for LDS...there is no excuse for pessimism and despair...things have been worse and they will always get better...sounds like we all ought to go and eat a big plate of worms.
We are not called in this life to be successful in all things but faithful in all things.
When we do inappropriate things, He doesn't go--"Oh, golly, perhaps the Celestial Kingdom is too high for you. Maybe your goal should be the Terrestrial Kingdom."
He doesn't give up on us. He doesn't grow weary.
Elder Neal A. Maxwell-We hold people hostage whom God long ago had forgiven.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions...but so is the road to heaven.
We ask for faith, not infallibility.
James L. Carroll
For added computer safety--have a credit card with a low limit on it. Use it for your e-commerce business and don't let the company raise your limit.
William J. Vincent
Remember when exercising: When in doubt, "under do it." You don't want to dread exercise because it's hard. No pain, no gain is not true. You don't want to sweat profusely, but just a little bit.
At least 1/3 of cancers are from poor diet and physical inactivity.
The greatest risk of exercise is not doing it.
Gary L. McCallister
Art (including music) develops the brain for abstract thinking (science does not). Education in the arts is more that about the arts. Art grows the brain and allows for better thinking in math and science.
There are 3 things you can do that work to develop the brain and mind of young people: music, computers, and legos.
More than any other activity, music prepares the brain for higher thought.
Kurt W. Mortensen
Burying your emotions is like changing your outer clothes every day but not your underwear--you look OK from the outside but eventually you can't hide the stench.
Being resentful (holding a grudge) is like drinking poison and hoping it will hurt your enemy.
Stephen G. Aldana
70% of all deaths are due to lifestyle choices: tobacco, lack of physical exercise, and poor diet are the 3 main causes.
