We are Shaped and Fashioned by What we Love

"Never forget that the purpose for which a man lives is the improvement of the man himself, so that he may go out of this world having, in his great sphere or his small one, done some little good for his fellow creatures, and labored a little to diminish the sin and sorrow that are in the world."

-W. E. Gladstone-

"How are we supposed to act when we are offended, misunderstood, unfairly or unkindly treated, or sinned against? What are we supposed to do if we are hurt by those we love, or passed over for promotion, or are falsely accused, or have our motives unfairly assailed? Do we fight back? Do we send in an ever-larger battalion? Do we revert to an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, or, as Tevye says in Fiddler on the Roof, do we come to the realization that this finally leaves us blind and toothless?"

Howard W. Hunter

"You cannot lift another soul until you are standing on higher ground than he is."

Harold B. Lee

"Every home has both body and spirit. You may have a beautiful house with all the decorations that modern art can give or wealth bestow. You may have all the outward forms that will please the eye and yet not have a home. It is not home without love. It may be a hovel, a log hut, a tent, a wickiup, if you have the right spirit within, the true love of Christ, and love for one another...you have the true life of the home that (we) build and are trying to establish."

David O. McKay, CR 1907, p. 63

"To the world, you might be one person; but to one person, you might be the world."
