Thomas Edison

When you have exhausted all of the possibilities, remember this: you haven't.

--Thomas Edison 

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 

[p. 336b]

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.

Sidney Going

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).

Bruce R. McConkie

I am one of his witnesses, and in a coming day I shall feel the nail marks in his hands and in his feet and shall wet his feet with my tears. But I shall not know any better then than I know now that he is God’s Almighty Son, that he is our Savior and Redeemer, and that salvation comes in and through his atoning blood and in no other way.--Bruce R. McConkie, "The Purifying Power of Gethsemane," April 1985

Richard G. Scott

With all my capacity I encourage you to discover who you really are. I invite you to look beyond the daily routine of life. I urge you to discern through the Spirit your divinely given capacities. I exhort you to prayerfully make worthy choices that will lead you to realize your full potential.--Richard G. Scott, "Realize Your Full Potiental", October 2003

Thomas S. Monson and Heidi S. Swinton

Quotes from President Monson's biography. Sorry they are all together. I have been reading his biography and taking notes! Enjoy them!

--The Lord calls disciples to his work at the time He needs them.-Heidi S. Swinton

--In this era of the last dispensation, when cultures have squandered their rights to God's inspiration, when men's hearts have failed them and their designs are not in keeping with the teachings of The Lord Jesus Christ, our Father in Heaven has placed a prophet in our midst so that we can carry on.-Heidi S. Swinton

--Let us remember that it was not the waters of Bethesda's pool which healed the impotent man. Rather, his blessing came through the touch of the Master's hand.-Thomas S. Monson 

--I firmly believe that the sweetest experience in mortality is to know that our Heavenly Father has worked through us to accomplish an objective in the life of another person--to help make someone whole.-Thomas S. Monson

--I plead with you to turn to our Heavenly Father in faith. He will lift you and guide you. He will not always take your afflictions from you, but He will comfort and lead you with love through whatever storm you face.-Thomas S. Monson

Thomas S. Monson

Remember that faith and doubt cannot exist in the same mind at the same time.-Thomas S. Monson

David J. Ridges

In my study of Moses 7:36, I found this little Gem! Enjoy!

After reading verse 36, above, students often ask, “What did we do to deserve being sent to this earth?” They feel that they must have done something wrong in premortality to be sent here. I have responded that my feeling is that it is a great honor to be sent to this earth, the world to which the Savior was sent to gain His mortal body and serve His mortal mission, the earth upon which was performed the infinite Atonement of Jesus Christ, which blesses the inhabitants of all the Father’s world’s—past, present, and future (D&C 76:24). To me, they should be asking what they did right to deserve such an honor!
David J. Ridges

Parley P. Pratt

Elder Parley P. Pratt taught about the functions of the Holy Ghost. He said: “The gift of the Holy Spirit adapts itself to all these organs and attributes. It quickens all the intellectual faculties, increases, enlarges, expands and purifies all the natural passions and affections; and adapts them, by the gift of wisdom, to their lawful use. It inspires, develops, cultivates matures all the fine-toned sympathies, joys, tastes, kindred feelings and affections of our nature. It inspires virtue, kindness, goodness, tenderness, gentleness and charity. It develops beauty of person, form and features. It tends to health, vigor, animation and social feeling. It develops and invigorates all the faculties of the physical and intellectual man. It strengthens, invigorates, and gives tone to the nerves. In short, it is, as it were, marrow to the bone, joy to the heart, light to the eyes, music to the ears, and life to the whole being” (Key to the Science of Theology/A Voice of Warning, page 101).

Joseph Smith

“Wherefore, we again say, search the revelations of God; study the prophesies, and rejoice that God grants unto the world Seers and Prophets. They are they who saw the mysteries of godliness; they saw the flood before it came; they saw angels ascending and descending upon a ladder that reached from earth to heaven; they saw the stone cut out of the mountain, which filled the whole earth; they saw the Son of God come from the regions of bliss and dwell with men on earth; they saw the deliverer come out of Zion, and turn away ungodliness from Jacob; they saw the glory of the Lord when he showed the transfiguration of the earth on the mount; they saw every mountain laid low and every valley exalted when the Lord was taking vengeance upon the wicked; they saw truth spring out of the earth, and righteousness look down from heaven in the last days, before the Lord came the second time to gather his elect; they saw the end of wickedness on earth, and the Sabbath of creation crowned with peace; they saw the end of the glorious thousand years, when Satan was loosed for a little season; they saw the day of judgment when all men received according to their works, and they saw the heaven and the earth flee away to make room for the city of God, when the righteous receive an inheritance in eternity” (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, pages 12-13).

Sir Winston Churchill

Every day you make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb.
Sir Winston Churchill

Henry Ward Beecher

Rain! Whose soft architectural hands have power to cut stones, and chisel to shapes of grandeur the very mountains.
