A pebble held close to the eye appears to be a gigantic obstacle. Cast on the ground, it is seen in perspective. Likewise, problems or trials in our lives need to be viewed in the perspective of scriptural doctrine. Otherwise they can easily overtake our vision, absorb our energy, and deprive us of the joy and beauty the Lord intends us to receive here on earth. Some people are like rocks thrown into a sea of problems. They are drowned by them. Be a cork. When submerged in a problem, fight to be free to bob up to serve again with happiness. Richard G. Scott (Ensign, May 1996, p 24)

As we consider the importance of nourishing our intellects with the promising potential of Superhighway resources, we must be ever cautious about the choices of programs and the impact of media in our lives. Those who understand our Heavenly Father's eternal plan for the joy and happiness of his children will be better prepared to make good choices as the Information Superhighway rolls across the world. The computer, television, satellite, microchip, and even the telephone, all can bless and enhance our lives-or can make them miserable. M. Russell Ballard (Ensign, May 1995, p 22)
As we consider various choices, we should remember that it is not enough that something is good. Other choices are better, and still others are best. Even though a particular choice is more costly, its far greater value may make it the best choice of all....Consider how we use our time in the choices we make in viewing television, playing video games, surfing the Internet, or reading books or magazines. Of course it is good to view wholesome entertainment or to obtain interesting information. But not everything of that sort is worth the portion of our life we give to obtain it. Some things are better, and others are best. When the Lord told us to seek learning, He said, 'Seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom' (D&C 88:118). Dallin H. Oaks (Ensign, Nov 2007, p 104-105)

Gordon B. Hinckley (Ensign, May 2004, p 113-114)

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition aspired, and success achieved. Helen Keller
Character cannot be summoned at the moment of crisis if it has been squandered by years of compromise and rationalization. The only testing ground for the heroic is the mundane.

Habit is the daily battleground of character. Senator Dan Coats
Character consists of what you do on the third and fourth tries. James A. Michener

Dating leads to marriage. Marriage is a sacred religious covenant and in its most exalted expression may be an eternal covenant. Whatever preparation relates to marriage, whether it be personal or social, concerns us as members of the Church.

If you are mature enough to date, you are mature enough to accept without childish, juvenile argument their authority as parents to set rules of conduct for you. Boyd K. Packer (New Era, Jun 2004, p 6)

Every man and woman in society has one big duty. That is, to take care of his or her own self. This is a social duty.

William Graham Sumner, What Social Classes Owe To Each Other [1883]

Everything has a price. There is a price to pay for success, fulfillment, accomplishment, and joy. There are no freebies.

Fear is a reflex. Courage is a choice. Emil Mlodnicki
Fear is faith that it won't work out. Sister Mary Tricky
Fear is nothing more than an emotional response to the perception of danger coupled with the belief that 'I can't handle it'.

Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future. Paul Boese
Forgiveness is a personal attribute, not just a decision we make from time to time when we feel we should. To have a forgiving heart is to see the world in a different light. It is to forsake the tendency to judge, condemn, exclude, or hate any human soul. A forgiving heart seeks to love and to be patient with imperfection. The forgiving heart understands that we are all in need of the atonement of Jesus Christ. Roderick J. Linton,
Ensign, Apr 1993, p 15)

Forgiving those who hurt us is the key to personal peace. G. Weatherly
For society as a whole, nothing comes as a "right" to which we are "entitled." Even bare subsistence has to be produced - and produced at a cost of heavy toil for much of human history. The only way anyone can have a right to something that has to be produced is to force someone else to provide it for him. The more things are provided as rights, the less the recipients have to work and the more others have to carry their load. Thomas Sowell
For the true Warrior the fear of dying in battle is never as great as the fear of being unworthy to enter into it. Author Unknown
Freedom, after all, is simply being able to live with the consequences of your decisions. James X. Mullen
Freedom and liberty are precious gifts that come to us when we are obedient to the laws of God and the whisperings of the Spirit. If we are to avoid destruction...fences or guardrails must be built beyond which we cannot go. The fences which we must stay within are the principles of revealed truth. Obedience to them makes us truly free to reach the potential and the glory which our Heavenly Father has in store for us. James E. Faust (Ensign, May 1999, p 45)
Freedom for most people of the world means "freedom from" the absence of malice or pain or suppression. But the freedom that God means when He deals with us goes one step further. He means
"freedom to" -- the freedom to act in the dignity of our own choice. F. Enzio Busche, (Ensign, Nov 2000, 83)
Freedom is based on truth, and no man is completely free as long as any part of his belief is based on error. N. Eldon Tanner (Ensign, May 1978, p 14)
Freedom...is not an inconsequential chucking of one's weight about, it is the disciplined overcoming of self. Iris Murdoch
Freedom is not procured by a full enjoyment of what is desired, but by controlling the desire. Epictetus
Freedom thus obtainedthat is, by obedience to the law of Christis freedom of the soul, the highest form of liberty. And the most glorious thing about it is that it is within the reach of every one of us, regardless of what people about us, or even nations, do. All we have to do is learn the law of Christ and obey it. To learn it and obey it is the primary purpose of every soul's mortal life. Marion G. Romney (Ensign, Nov 1981, p 43)

Good character is not formed at the New Year. Maltbie D. Babcock
Good enough never is. Debbi Fields, founder of Mrs. Fields Bakeries
Good habits are developed in the workshops of our daily lives. It is not in the great moments of test and trial that character is built. That is only when it is displayed. The habits that direct our lives and form our character are fashioned in the often uneventful, commonplace routine of life. Delbert L. Stapley (General Conference Report, October 1974, page 25)

Have no fear of perfection -- you'll never reach it. Salvador Dali, Spanish painter
Having 'freedom to' means that we have the potential of making wrong choices.

I thought glory was the object of war, and all glory was self-glory. No more. There are greater pursuits than self-seeking. glory is not a conceit. It is not a decoration for valor. It is not a prize for being the most clever, the strongest, or the boldest. Glory belongs to the act of being constant to something greater than yourself, to a cause, to your principles, to the people on whom you rely, and who rely on you in return. No misfortune, no injury, no humiliation can destroy it. John McCain, US Senator, writing on his experiences as a POW in Viet Nam (Faith Of My Fathers, p 257)

It is not necessary to change. Survival is not mandatory. W. Edwards Deming
It is not only fine feathers that make fine birds. Aesop
It is not so much the major events as the small day-to-day decisions that map the course of our living....Our lives are, in reality, the sum total of our seemingly unimportant decisions and of our capacity to live by those decisions. By what standards shall we make those decisions? By the standards of Caesar, meaning the standards of the state as politicians have established those standards? By the standards of the circus, meaning the standards of the self-seeking masses? Or shall we make our decisions by the standards of Christ, the Son of God, who came in the meridian of time, as the one true lawgiver? What are the standards by which you will govern your life? I should like to suggest three standards by which to judge each of the decisions that determine the behavior patterns of your lives. These standards are so simple as to appear elementary, but I believe their faithful observance will provide a set of moral imperatives by which to govern without argument or equivocation each of our actions and which will bring unmatched rewards. They are: Does it enrich the mind? Does it discipline and strengthen the body? Does it nourish the spirit? Gordon B. Hinckley (BYU Devotional, Oct 26, 1965)
It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. Theodore Roosevelt

It isn't the mountain ahead that wears you out; it's the grain of sand in your shoe. Robert W. Service
It is of great importance to set a resolution, not to be shaken, never to tell an untruth. There is no vice so mean, so pitiful, so contemptible; and he who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second and a third time, till at length it becomes habitual; he tells lies without attending to it, and truths without the world's believing him. This falsehood of the tongue leads to that of the heart, and in time depraves all its good disposition. Thomas Jefferson, letter to Peter Carr, 19 Aug 1785
It is only an error in judgment to make a mistake, but it shows infirmity of character to adhere to it when discovered. Christian Bovee

It has ever been so, and so shall it ever be. Thomas S. Monson (Ensign, May 2004, p 54-55)

Man is a biological unit, an animal, but he is more than this, he is the temple of an immortal spirit; that spirit can be defiled by the flesh, and defilement comes when the laws of chastity are violated.

Reuben Clark, Jr., US Ambasador (Conference Report, Oct 1938)

Many years ago, while riding through Cleveland, Ohio, on a train, I saw on a building the inscription 'Obedience to Law is Liberty.' With the proper interpretation of the word law, we have in this inscription a statement of ultimate truth. By inserting three words, it is made to read, 'Obedience to the law of Christ is liberty.' (See D&C 88:21.) This is not only a statement of the perfect law of liberty, but also a statement of the way to perfect liberty. Marion G. Romney (Ensign, Nov 1981, p 43)

No matter how difficult something you or a loved one faces, it should not take over your life and be the center of all your interest.

Often, the lack of clear direction and goals can waste away our time and energy and contribute to imbalance in our lives. A life that gets out of balance is much like a car tire that is out of balance. It will make the operation of the car rough and unsafe. Tires in perfect balance can give a smooth and comfortable ride. So it is with life. The ride through mortality can be smoother for us when we strive to stay in balance. Our main goal should be to seek "immortality and eternal life." With this as our goal, why not eliminate from our lives the things that clamor for and consume our thoughts, feelings, and energies without contributing to our reaching that goal? M. Russell Ballard (Ensign, May 1987)

One of the evils of our time is taking for granted so many of the things we enjoy. James E. Faust (Ensign, May 1990, p 85)
One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth.

Our will to resist self indulgence has been systematically broken down by commercials, by pop culture, by thousands of messages passed along by teachers, preachers and television broadcasters. Americans are taught to seek entertainment. Logically, the doctrines of self-denial and self-control would negatively impact consumer spending, which is a leading economic indicator. If narcissism disappeared from our midst, businesses would close and millions would be thrown out of work. The wheel of consumption and entertainment, it seems, must spin faster and faster. Will the merry-go-round continue, or will it break down at some future point? JR Nyquist

Selfishness is actually the detonator of all the cardinal sins. It is the hammer for the breaking of the Ten Commandments, whether by neglecting parents, the Sabbath, or by inducing false witness, murder, and envy.

Russell Ballard (Ensign, May 1987)
Sometimes we will receive counsel that we cannot understand or that seems not to apply to us, even after careful prayer and thought. Don't discard the counsel, but hold it close.

The importance of what a good reputation means was emphasized to me when I entered into business many years ago with a great business leader. Our plans were to start a new wholesale business. He was to furnish the capital, and I was to furnish the management.

He then went on to say, "Should the business fail, you will lose more than I will. I'll only lose money, and I have more of that; but you will lose your reputation, which is much more valuable than money. O. Leslie Stone (Ensign, Nov 1975, p40)

These consequences are physical, but they also risk the loss of the Spirit and cause us to fall prey to Satan. James E. Faust (Ensign, May 2006, p 53)

There are those today who say that man is the result of his environment and cannot rise above it.

There is a great risk in justifying what we do individually and professionally on the basis of what is 'legal' rather than what is 'right.' In so doing, we put our very souls at risk. The philosophy that what is legal is also right will rob us of what is highest and best in our nature. What conduct is actually legal is, in many instances, way below the standards of a civilized society and light years below the teachings of the Christ. If you accept what is legal as your standard of personal or professional conduct, you will deny yourself of that which is truly noble in your personal dignity and worth. James E.

Unlike an animal, man is not told by drives and instincts what he must do. And in contrast to man in former times, he is no longer told by traditions and values what he should do. Now, knowing neither what he must do nor what he should do, he sometimes does not even know what he basically wishes to do. Instead, he wishes to do what other people do -- which is conformism -- or he does what other people wish him to do -- which is totalitarianism. Viktor Frankl

We live in a most exciting and challenging period in human history. As technology sweeps through every facet of our lives, changes are occurring so rapidly that it can be difficult for us to keep our lives in balance. To maintain some semblance of stability in our lives, it is essential that we plan for our future. I believe it is time, and perhaps with some urgency, to review the counsel we have received in dealing with our personal and family preparedness.

Such a quagmire of quicksand I plead with you to avoid. You are of a noble birthright. Eternal life in the kingdom of our Father is your goal.
