“If I don’t understand it, it must be art.”

I know what I did and how I accomplished it. I am proud of it and know that it was done with integrity.

Now, it is my contention that the deneuroticization of humanity requires a rehumanization of psychotherapy.

Our lives are made up of thousands of everyday choices. Over the years these little choices will be bundled together and show clearly what we value.

If you are burdened with depressing feelings of guilt or disappointment, of failure or shame, there is a cure.

YOU ARE AN ARTIST OF THE SPIRIT Find yourself and express yourself in your own particular way. Express your love openly. Life is nothing but a dream, and if you create your life with love, your dream becomes a masterpiece of art.

Nowhere are the generosity and the kindness and mercy of God more manifest than in repentance.

Most of what we acquire materially is found to not be worth what we must pay spiritually.

I bear witness of the power of the priesthood given to the Church to protect us and guide us. And because we have that, we have no fear of the future.

One of the adversary’s sharpest tools is to convince us that we are no longer worthy to pray. No matter who you are or what you may have done, you can always pray.

Parents now are concerned about the moral and spiritual diseases. These can have terrible complications when standards and values are abandoned. We must all take protective measures.

Our whole social order could self-destruct over the obsession with freedom disconnected from responsibility; where choice is imagined to be somehow independent of consequences.

We could be like a father determined to provide everything for his family. He devotes every energy to that end and succeeds; only then does he discover that what they needed most, to be together as a family, has been neglected. And he reaps sorrow in place of contentment.

The choice of life is not between fame and fortune, nor wealth and poverty, but between good and evil.

The end of all activity in the church is to see that a man and a woman with their children are happy at home, sealed for eternity.

We are able to feel and learn very quickly through music, through art, through poetry some spiritual things that we would otherwise learn very slowly.

Behold, he who has repented of his sins, the same is forgiven, and I, the Lord, remember them no more.

I think now that the young man must possess or teach himself, training himself, in infinite patience, which is to try and to try until it comes right.

The people must know before they can act, and there is no educator to compare with the press.

We don’t know what’s around the corner – and we must do everything to ensure we get our country’s debts down, building our resilience so we don’t repeat the mistakes of the past.

We must close our eyes and invoke a new manner of seeing…a wakefulness that is the birthright of us all, though few put it to use.

When faith lays hold, impossibilities must yield.

Many men ridicule the idea that it can be scientifically handled. They tell us the unemployed have always been with us, and always must be. It is the oldest reason in the world for tolerating injustice and misery.

An original idea. That can’t be too hard. The library must be full of them.

An artist must believe in himself – Possibly not so passionately as Lawrence – but passionately.
