I found my treasure trove of quotes. I thought I had lost them. So now I will be adding them. Be prepared to learn and grow and be entertained! :)
I can only imagine. It is not enough to have a dream, unless you are willing to pursue it. It is not enough to know what is right, unless you are strong enough to do it. It is not enough to learn the truth, unless you also learn to live it.--Author Unknown
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.

Mitch Albom
This is a quote from a book I am currently reading written by Mitch Albom titled "Have A Little Faith". (It's on page 19.) I loved it! I hope you will too...
"Do you believe in God?"
"Yes, I do."
I scribbled that on my pad.
"Do you ever speak with God?"
"On a regular basis."
"What do you say?"
"These days?" He sighed, then half-sang his answer. "These days I say, 'God, I know I'm going to see you soon. And we'll have some nice conversations. But meanwhile, God, if you're gonna taaake me, take me already. And if you're gonna leave me here'"-he opened his hands and looked at the ceiling-"'maybe give me the strength to do what should be done.'"

“You can tempt me, desert me, or cause me great pain; you can create a dark world that my cause me to fear; you can rule your world with blood and terror, that's true.
But you can't win. And I know that. Weak as I am, with my imperfections and sins, even with all of my failing, I am stronger than you.
I will soon have a body. And I have my agency now. I will increase in my faith and knowledge and power. I am not perfect, but I will be, and there's not a thing you can do! I will become like the Father if I follow the Son. You are powerless to stop me. You can threaten and tempt and whisper lies in my ear, but you can't stop me, Satan; I see that so clearly now! I can stop myslef, yes, but only if I follow you.
And I reject you temptations. I reject your whispered lies. I reject you, Lucifer, and your entire plan. You have no power to control me. I am in control of myself. And try as you might, you won't control me on earth. We will defeat you in heaven, and we will deafeat you on earth. Here, or the earth, it doesn't matter; I am always stronger than you.”
