"Who is righteous?  Anyone who is repenting.  No matter how bad he has been, if he is repenting he is a righteous man.  There is hope for him.  And no matter how good he has been all his life, if he is not repenting, he is a wicked man.  The difference is which way you are facing.  The man on the top of the stairs facing down is much worse off than the man on the bottom step who is facing up.  The direction we are facing, that is repentance; and that is what determines whether we are good or bad."

Hugh Nibley
Approaching Zion, pg 301-302

"Square your shoulders and you will find that the path you say you can't walk, you walk.  The load you say you can't bear, you bear, and the sorrow you say you can't handle, you handle.  You are stronger than you think you are."
