Words of Wisdom

 "Spring shows what God can do with a drab and dreary world."  ~ Virgil A. Kraft

"Be strong and of good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed; for the Lord thy God is with thee withersoever thou goest." ~ Joshua 1:9

"You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by encouraging class hatred.
You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot keep our of trouble by spending more than you earn.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away man's initiative and independence.
You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves."
~ Abraham Lincoln

"Adversity teaches us things we cannot lean otherwise.  Adversity helps to develop a debt of character that comes in no other way.  Our loving Heavenly Father has set us in a world filled with challenges and trials so that we through opposition can learn wisdom, become stronger, and experience joy."
~Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Take Time

Take Time to think... it is the source of power.
Take Time to play... it is the secret of perpetual youth.
Take Time to read... it is the fountain of wisdom.
Take Time to pray... it is the greatest power on earth.
Take Time to love and be loved... it is a God-given privilege.
Take Time to be friendly... it is the road to happiness.
Take Time to laugh... it is the music of the soul.
Take Time to give... it is too short a day to be selfish.
Take Time to work... it is the price of success.
Take Time to do charity... it is the key to heaven.
