LIFE

"Your life is always 

speaking to you.

The fundamental 

spiritual question is:

Will you listen?"

- Oprah

WITH WINGS AS EAGLES

"Each of us will taste the bitter ashes of life, from sin and neglect to sorrow and disappointment. But the Atonement of Christ can lift us up in beauty, not only from our own ashes but also from the ashes of him who fathers the rebirth of our spirits. We then soar toward the sun on the wings of a sure promise of immortality and eternal life. Thus may we be lifted up, not only at the end of life but in each day of our lives.

Hast thou not known? Hast thou not heard, 

that the everlasting God , the Lord,

the Creator of the ends of the earth...

giveth power to the faint,

and to them that have no might

he increaseth strength. 

But they that wait upon the Lord 

shall renew their strength;

they shall mount up with wings as eagles;

they shall run, and not be weary; 

and they shall walk, and not faint.

(Isaiah 40:28-29, 31)"

- Bruce C. Hafen, "The Broken Heart", p. 23

DEATH

"Little mourned I for the parted gladness,

For the vacant nest and silent song -

Hope was there and laughed me out of sadness;

Whispering 'Winter will not linger long!'"

- Emily Bronte

TRUTH

"Those who know the truth

learn to love it.

Those who love the truth

learn to live it."

- Bob Proctor

SUPERIORITY

"There is nothing noble in being superior 

to your fellow man,

true nobility is being superior to your

former self."

- Author Unknown

JOY

"Your joy is your sorrow unmasked.

And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises

was oftentimes filled with your tears.

And how else can it be?

The deeper that sorrow carves into your being

the more joy you can contain.

When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and 

you shall find it is only that which has

given you sorrow that is giving you joy.

When you are sorrowful, 

look again in your heart,

and you shall see that in truth you are weeping

 for that which has been your delight.

Together they come, 

and when one sits alone with you at your board,

remember that the other is asleep upon your bed."

- Kahlil Gibran, "The Prophet"

ETERNAL FAME AND IMMORTAL GLORY

 "You are in the pathway to eternal fame and immortal glory."

- Joseph Smith
