"Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least."

-Goethe

"Frequently it is not easy to face up to that which is expected of us.  Many think they cannot do it.  We need a little more faith.  We should know that the Lord will not give us commandments beyond our power to observe.  He will not ask us to do things for which we lack the capacity.  Our problem lies in our fears and in our appetites."

-Gordon B. Hinckley

"Desires dictate our priorities, priorities shape our choices, and choices determine our actions.  The desires we act on determine our changing, our achieving, and our becoming."
