Russell M. Nelson Quotes

"As seedlings of God, we barely blossom on earth; we fully flower in heaven." ~Russel M. Nelson

"Difficult trials often provide opportunities to grow that would not have come in any other way." ~Russell M. Nelson 

"Do not let the temptations of the world … distract you from the real reason you are here on earth." ~Russell M. Nelson 

"Even if everyone is doing it, wrong is never right.  Evil, error, and darkness will never be truth, even if popular." ~Russell M. Nelson 

"From the dawning of time, women have been blessed with a unique moral compass—the ability to distinguish right from wrong. This gift is enhanced in those who make and keep covenants. And it diminishes in those who willfully ignore the commandments of God. …my dear sisters, your ability to discern truth from error, to be society’s guardians of morality, is crucial in these latter days. And we depend upon you to teach others to do likewise. Let me be very clear about this: if the world loses the moral rectitude of its women, the world will never recover.." -President Russell M. Nelson, LDS Women's Conference 2019

"To rule children by force is the technique of Satan, not of the Savior. No, we don't own our children. Our parental privilege is to love them, to lead them, and, to let them go." ~Russell M Nelson

"When our hearts turn to our ancestors, something changes inside us. We feel part of something greater than ourselves. Our inborn yearnings for family connections are fulfilled when we are linked to our ancestors." ~Russell M. Nelson

James Connolly - Humanity

“It would be well to realize that the talk of ‘humane methods of warfare’, of the ‘rules of civilized warfare’, and all such homage to the finer sentiments of the race are hypocritical and unreal, and only intended for the consumption of stay-at-homes. There are no humane methods of warfare, there is no such thing as civilized warfare; all warfare is inhuman, all warfare is barbaric; the first blast of the bugles of war ever sounds for the time being the funeral knell of human progress… What lover of humanity can view with anything but horror the prospect of this ruthless destruction of human life. Yet this is war: war for which all the jingoes are howling, war to which all the hopes of the world are being sacrificed, war to which a mad ruling class would plunge a mad world.” ~James Connolly

Tim Winton - Our birthright

Tess De Leon Hammer - School of life

Daniel Nielsen - On being human

"We are all broken to some degree. That's the price of being human. At some point in our life we will face extreme pressure and feel fear, anxiety, loneliness, distress, or so many other painful or negative emotions. We are fragile earthen jars. We break. But when we do, it can also be our finest moment. That’s because we can be put back together again the way we were meant to be. The most beautiful people have, at some point in their lives, experienced brokenness. But they haven’t remained in that state. They have learned to let go of the inner struggle and the things they have no control over, and turned to a higher power. It’s in a state of soul surrender, letting-go and letting-God, that the light comes streaming through the cracks and inner healing takes place." ~Daniel Nielsen

Rabbi Noach Weinberg - Inclinations

"Be aware of your inner struggle between the two conflicting inclinations - to do the right thing, or to be selfish." ~Rabbi Noach Weinberg

Eliphas Levi - Middle course

"No middle course is possible. Every man is either good or bad. The indifferent, the lukewarm are not good; they are consequently bad, and the worst of all the bad, for they are imbecile and cowardly. The battle of life is like a civil war; those who remain neutral betray both parties alike, and renounce the right to be numbered among the children of the fatherland." ~Eliphas Levi

Rabbi Ariel bar Tzadok - Stand against evil

"Those who do not take a stand against evil will in the end be over come by it, those who tolerate evil in their midst will eventually tolerate evil in their hearts, those who are silent before evil will in the end be silenced by evil." ~Rabbi Ariel bar Tzadok

Billy Joel Quotes

"Slow down you're doing fine. You can't be everything you want to be before your time." ~Billy Joel

“When you look into my eyes
And you see the crazy gypsy in my soul
It always comes as a surprise
When I feel my withered roots begin to grow
Well I never had a place that I could call my very own
That's all right, my love, 'cause you're my home”
~Billy Joel
