Every man eventually is backed up to the wall of faith, and there he must make his stand.
Those who think clean thoughts do not do dirty deeds.
Build traditions of family vacations and trips and outings. These memories will never be forgotten by your children.
First, we should become informed about communism, about socialism, and about Americanism. What better way can one become informed than by first studying the inspired words of the prophets and using that as a foundation; against which to test all other material. This is in keeping with the Prophet Joseph Smith's motto, "When the Lord commands, do it."
Happy and successful homes cannot be built on immorality.
Christ changes men, who then change their environment. The world would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human nature.
For years we have been counseled to have on hand a year's supply of food. Yet there are some today who will not start storing until the Church comes out with a detailed monthly home storage program. Now suppose that never happens. We still cannot say we have not been told. Should the Lord decide at this time to cleanse the Church- and the need for that cleansing seems to be increasing- a famine in this land of one year's duration could wipe out a large percentage of slothful members, including some ward and stake officers. Yet we cannot say we have not been warned.
It is not enough simply to try to resist evil or empty our lives of sin. We must also fill our lives with righteousness

If you turn your life over to the Lord he can do so much more with it than we can.
Years of happiness can be lost in the foolish gratification of a momentary desire for pleasure.
Fatherhood is not a matter of station or wealth; it is a matter of desire, diligence, and determination to see one's family exalted in the celestial kingdom. If that prize is lost, nothing else really matters.
Pride does not look up to God and care about what is right. It looks sideways to man and argues who is right. Pride is manifest in the spirit of contention. Was it not through pride that the devil became the devil? Christ wanted to serve. The devil wanted to rule. Christ wanted to bring men to where He was. The devil wanted to be above men. Christ removed self as the force in His perfect life. It was not my will, but thine be done
Acknowledging the Lord's hand in our lives cultivates gratitude. . . .

Of course, she should be attractive to you.... And one good yardstick as to whether a person might be the right one for you is this: in her presence, do you think your noblest thoughts, do you aspire to your finest deeds, do you wish you were better than you are?
