"And why should we feel anger at the world? As if the world would notice!"
-- Marcus Aurelius, Meditations,
Book VII:38
D&C 1:10
...the Lord shall come to recompense to every man according to his work, and measure to every man according to the measure which he has measured to his fellow man.
Scripture
If they have not charity...
Quotation
In all such disputes [as these], there will sometimes be men found with whom everything is absolute-absolutely wrong, or absolutely right. They see the right clearly; they think others ought so to see it...They have, therefore, none too much charity toward others who differ with them.

From a Warrior
One Minute of Light
There is always hope. There is the victory over the battle waiting for you. The war is already won. All you need to do is pick the side you want to be on. Walk, run, always move forward to the right side, the side of Jesus. He is the one who makes sure you do not fail forever. Do not suppose that failing once determines who you are and whether you stand at the end of the line or not.
--Hyrum Brennan
2 Nephi 1:7
This land is consecrated unto him whom [the Lord] shall bring. And if it so be that they shall serve him according to the commandments which he hath given, it shall be a land of liberty unto them...
Scripture
Why Thomas Jefferson should write the Declaration:
Reason first: You are a Virginian and a Virginian ought to appear at the head of this business. Reason second: I am obnoxious, suspected and unpopular. You are very much otherwise. Reason third: You can write ten times better than I can.
