"Love is the grand motive of the plan of salvation; it is the source of happiness, the ever-renewing spring of healing, the precious fountain of hope. As we extend our hands and hearts toward others in Christlike love, something wonderful happens to us. Our own spirits become healed, more refined, and stronger. We become happier, more peaceful, and more receptive to the whisperings of the Holy Spirit."

-Dieter F. Uchtdorf
"When events of misfortune occur in our lives we need to keep in mind that our Heavenly Father has a plan for each and every one of us. Instead of thinking 'why would God do this to me?' or 'Doesn't God want me to be happy?' think of it as, 'enduring until the end'. It may seem inconvenient at the time, just remember to keep your faith strong. Our Heavenly Father loves his children and wants us to be happy. But he also wants us to grow and be strong individuals." -Matthew Ott
Everybody is a genius.  But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live it's whole life believing that it is stupid.  -Albert Einstein
You are NOT the mistakes you have made.

Sometimes you just need to distance yourself from people.  If they care, they’ll notice.  If they don’t, you know where you stand.

My life has a superb cast, but I can’t figure out the plot!

Choose your love, and love your choice.

-Thomas S. Monson

Making the decision to have a child is momentous.  It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.

-Elizabeth Stone

Don’t be the girl who needs a man.  Be the girl a man needs.

At first glance it may appear too hard.  Look again.  Always look again.

-Mary Anne Rodmacher

If you didn’t hear it with your own ears or see it with your own eyes, don’t invent it with your small mind or share it with your big mouth.

When you are down to nothing, God is up to something.

It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.

-Frederick Douglass

Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words.

Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior.

Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits.

Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values.

Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny.

-Mahatma Gandhi

God doesn’t give us what we can handle, God helps us handle what we are given.

Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there.

-Will Rogers

Girls are like apples on trees.  The best ones are at the top of the tree.  The boys don’t want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt.  Instead, they just get the rotten apples from the ground that aren’t as good, but easy.  So the apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they’re amazing.  They just have to wait for the right boy to come along, the one who’s brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.

Often, the answer to our prayer does not come while we’re on our knees, but while we’re on our feet serving the Lord and serving those around us.

-Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Patience is not the ability to wait, but the ability to keep a good attitude while waiting.

Let your faith be bigger than your fear.
