“I believe in the principle that I can make a difference in this world. It may be ever so small, but it will count for the greater good.”

Quiet talk is the language of love. It is the language of peace. It is the language of God.

You are doing the best you can, and that best results in good to yourself and to others. Do not nag yourself with a sense of failure. Get on your knees and ask for the blessings of the Lord;then stand on your feet and do what you are asked to do.

Work will cure your grief. Serve others.

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.

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.

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.

It is my firm belief that the best way to fix the world – a handyman’s dream, if ever there was one – is to fix yourself.

It’s like the people who believe they’ll be happy if they go and live somewhere else, but who learn it doesn’t work that way. Wherever you go, you take yourself with you. If you see what I mean.

None of our beliefs are quite true; all have at least a penumbra of vagueness and error.

Belief in the causal nexus is superstition.

I can believe things that are true and things that aren’t true and I can believe things where nobody knows if they’re true or not.

Anyone who believes what a cat tells him deserves all he gets.

Freedom will destroy itself if it is not exercised within some sort of moral framework, somebody of shared beliefs, some spiritual heritage transmitted through the Church, the family, and the school.

Believe in yourself, know that you are great. Keep taking steps forward CHOOSE to run into fate.
