President Gordon B. Hinckley once said: "Life is to be enjoyed, not endured." This is a blog of my favorite quotes, short stories, and general things that I enjoy. I hope you find them enjoyable too! As I find more things I will add them. Disclaimer: I am not perfect. Where possible I will provide accurate references.

Brigham Young
I would to God that they all had revelation! When they receive revelation from heaven the story is told, they know for themselves.
Now, my friends, brethren and sisters, ladies and gentlemen, how do you know anything? Can you be deceived by the eye? You can; you have proved this; you all know that there are men who can deceive the sight of the eye, no matter how closely you observe their movements. Can you be deceived in hearing? Yes; you may hear sounds but not understand their import or whence they come. Can you be deceived by the touch of the finger? You can. The nervous system will not detect everything. What will? The revelations of the Lord Jesus Christ, the spirit of truth will detect everything, and enable all who possess it to understand truth from error, light from darkness, the things of God from the things not of God. It is the only thing that will enable us to understand the Gospel of the Son of God, the will of God, and how we can be saved. Follow it, and it will lead to God, the fountain of light, where the gate will be open, and the mind will be enlightened so that we shall see, know, and understand things as they are.

The blessing of [bringing others] into the gospel far outweighs anything [you] will ever sacrifice.
Emily Belle Freeman
Luke 2:15-16
I often wonder when the invitation to come unto Christ is extended to me, if I have the heart of a shepherd. When given the opportunity to turn to the scriptures, to pray, to learn more of Him, how often is my response now and with haste? This scripture reminds me of the importance of desire. If our hearts are filled with desire to come closer to Christ, it will motivate our actions for good. (Celebrating A Christ-Centered Christmas, pp. 58-59).
