The Sacred Grove was just a grove until Joseph Smith prayed in it.
My room was just a room until I prayed in it.

The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of sixty minutes per hour, whatever he does, whoever he is.
Clive Staples Lewis
Quote #37
Choose ye this day whom ye will serve... but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
Joshua 24:15
Quote #36
What a win, if I gain the thing I seek?
A dream, a breath, a froth of fleeting joy.
Who buys a minute's mirth to wail a week?
Or sells eternity to get a toy?
For one sweet grape, who will the vine destroy?
William Shakespeare
Quote #35
The tree that never had to fight
For sun and sky and air and light,
But stood out in the open rain,
Never became a foreest king
But lived and died a scrubby thing.
Good timber does not grow with ease,
The stronger wind, the stronger trees.
Douglas Malloch
Quote #34
There once was an oyster, whose story I’ll tell
Who found that some sand had gotten into his shell
It was only a grain, but gave him great pain
For oysters have feelings, although they are plain.
Now, did he debate the harsh workings of fate
That had brought him to such a deplorable state?
“No,” he said to himself, “Since I cannot remove it,”
“I’ll lie in my shell, and think how to improve it.”
The years rolled around, as the years always do,
And he came to his ultimate destiny… stew.
Now the small grain of sand that had bothered him so,
Was a beautiful pearl all richly aglow,
This tale has a moral, for isn’t it grand,
What an oyster can do with a morsel of sand?
Think… what could we do, if we’d only begin
With some of the things that get under our skin.
Quote #32
A fellow ought to act so that when someone tells his son he reminds him of his father the boy will stick out his chest instead of hanging his head.
Quote #31
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

According to the laws of aerodynamics, the bumblebee cannot fly. I guess not bothered to tell the bee.
KEEP FLYING!
Quote #29
I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending love letters to the world.
Mother Teresa
Quote #28
I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.
Thomas Edison
Quote #27
You can make more friends in two months by becoming genuinely interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.
Dale Carnegie
Quote #25
Sometimes we want the faith to move mountains, but Heavenly Father lets us pray and fast and then only gives us strength to climb up and over the mountain.

God didn’t promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way. If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.
Quote #20
If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.
If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it.
He sends you flowers ever spring.
He sends you a sunrise every morning.
Face it, friend – He’s crazy about you.
Quote #19
If I'm leaning on Christ and someone else is leaning on me, I don't need to worry. He can hold us both up.
Quote #18
All the adversity I’ve had in my life, all the troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me. You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.
Quote #17
The world is moving so fast these days that the man who says it can’t be done is generally interrupted by someone doing it.
Quote #16
“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?”
“That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,” said the Cat.
“I don’t much care where-“ said Alice.
“Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,” said the Cat.
Quote #15
You will be running to the four corners of the universe;
To where the land meets the big water;
To where the sky meets the land;
To where the home of winter is;
To the home of rain.
Run!
Be strong.
For you are the mother of a people.

Quote #15
I don’t want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor’s children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone’s garden. I want to be there with children’s sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived.

Quote #12
“God is eagerly waiting for the chance to answer your prayers and fulfill your dreams, just as he always has. But he can't if you don't pray, and he can't if you don't dream. In short, he can't if you don't believe.”
Jeffrey R. Holland

Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile,
but sometimes, your smile can be the source of your joy.
Thich Nhat Hanh
Quote #10
It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, who knows great enthusiasms, great devotions; who spends himself in a worth cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails whole daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
Theodore Roosevelt

If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead, either write things worth reading or do things worth writing.
Benjamin Franklin
Quote #8
When I stand before God at the end of my life,
I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left,
And I could say, "I used everything you gave me."

Quote #7
Your journey has molded you for your greater good,
And it was exactly what it needed to be.
Don't think that you've lost time.
It took each and every situation you have encountered
To bring you to the now.
And now is right on time.
