“We are creatures of our thinking. We can talk ourselves into defeat or we can talk ourselves into victory.”

I am suggesting that we spend a little less time in idleness, in the fruitless pursuit of watching inane and empty television programs. Time so utilized can be put to better advantage, and the consequences will be wonderful.

You must ask for God’s help. After each failure, ask forgiveness, pick yourself up, and try again.

That which comes easily departs easily. That which comes of struggle remains.

Love is like the North Star. In a changing world, it’s always constant.

You can’t plow a field simply by turning it over in your mind.

You have not failed until you quit trying.

It is good to look to the past to gain appreciation for the present and perspective for the future.

Let your first interest be in your home. The baby you hold in your arms will grow quickly as the sunrise and the sunset of the rushing days.

If Life Gets Too Hard To Stand, Kneel.

The singing of hymns and the rendition of selections from the great sacred oratorios by ward choirs all enhance the spirit of worship.

By and large, I have come to see that if we complain about life, it is because we are thinking only of ourselves.

The greatest job that any mother will ever do will be in nurturing, teaching, lifting, encouraging and rearing her children in righteousness and truth. None other can adequately take her place.

There is no obstacle too great, no challenge too difficult, if we have faith.

Keep your families close together, and love and honor your children.

As you walk the road of life, be careful of your friends. They can make you or break you.

Let us never forget to pray. God lives. He is near. He is real. He is not only aware of us but cares for us. He is our Father. He is accessible to all who will seek Him.

The people united will never be defeated.

There is nothing more pathetic and futile than a general who lives long enough to explain a defeat.

The will of God, to which the law gives expression, is that men should defeat their enemies by loving them.

I know not age, nor weariness nor defeat.

The early morning belongs to the Church of the risen Christ. At the break of light it remembers the morning on which death and sin lay prostrate in defeat and new life and salvation were given to mankind.

People with a sense of humor tend to be less egocentric and more realistic in their view of the world and more humble in moments of success and less defeated in times of travail.

Defeat appears to me preferable to total inaction.

Death is nothing, but to live defeated and inglorious is to die daily.
