Hope on, trust on, til you see the salvation of God.
C. S. Lewis
God knows our situations; He will not judge us as if we had no difficulties to overcome. What matters is the sincerity and perseverance of our will to overcome them.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Believe in yourself. Believe in your capacity to do great and good and worthwhile things. Believe in the nature within you, the divine nature, that you are in very deed a son or daughter of the living God. There is something of divinity within you, something that stands high and tall and noble. Get above the dirt and the filth of the earth and walk on a higher plane with your heads up, believing in yourselves and in your capacity to act for good in the world and make a difference.
Spencer W. Kimball
"The primary reason the Lord sent you here is to make yourself happy and help other people make themselves happy."
Joseph B. Wirthlin
We see ourselves in terms of yesterday and today. Our Heavenly Father sees us in terms of forever. Although we might settle for less, Heavenly Father won't, for He sees us as the glorious beings we are capable of becoming.
Elder Jeffery R. Holland
"It goes without saying that negative speaking so often flows from negative thinking, including negative thinking about ourselves. We see our own faults, we speak--or at least think--critically of ourselves, and before long that is how we see everyone and everything. No sunshine, no roses, no promise of hope or happiness. Before long, we and everyone around us are miserable."
David O. McKay
No principle of life was more constantly emphasized by the Great Teacher (Jesus Christ) than the necessity of right thinking.
Boyd K. Packer
"If you are helpless, He is not. If you are lost, He is not. If you don't know what to do next, He knows. It would take a miracle, you say? Well, if it takes a miracle, why not?"
Joseph Smith
Our Heavenly Father is more liberal in His views, and boundless in His mercies and blessings, than we are ready to believe or receive.
Gordon B. Hinckley
“I believe in myself. I do not mean this in an egotistic way. But I believe in my capacity and in your capacity to do good, to make some contribution to the society of which we are a part, to grow and develop, and to do things that we may now think impossible. … 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” (New Era, Sept. 1996, 8)
Spencer W. Kimball
Man alone, of all creatures of the earth, can change his thought pattern and become the architect of his destiny.
Heber C. Kimball
"I am perfectly satisfied that my Father and my God is a cheerful, pleasant, lively, and good-natured Being. Why? Because I am cheerful, pleasant, lively, and good-natured when I have His Spirit. That is one reason why I know; and another is—the Lord said, through Joseph Smith, ‘I delight in a glad heart and a cheerful countenance' [D&C 59:15]. That arises from the perfection of His attributes; He is a jovial, lively person . . ."
Joseph B. Wirthlin
"Perseverance is a positive, active characteristic. It is not idly, passively waiting and hoping for some good thing to happen. It gives us hope by helping us realize that the righteous suffer no failure except in giving up and no longer trying." -En 11/87 p.8
Patricia Holland
We often will have no ability or power beyond our ability to plead for God's help.
Philippians 1:3
"I thank my God upon every remembrance of you." [thank-you D.C. my eternal friend]
Henry Ford
If you think you can or can't, either way, you're right.
Mariah Carey "Hero"
When you feel like hope is gone, look inside you and be strong, and you finally see the truth, that a hero lies in you.
Randy Pausch
Have fun. Never give up. Look for the good in others.
Dr. David Dryland
"When you change a negative thought, you will always change the subsequent emotional feelings that are sent to your body."
