• The other General Welfare Clause is in the first of the authorities given to the Congress and it's not a grant, it's a restriction. By which I mean it doesn't say Congress can legislate for the general welfare, it means that everything Congress must do has to enhance the general welfare of the United States of America. It can't grant things to individuals, it can only legislate for the government.

• The sacred rites, although not instituted specifically for proving the truth of the dogmas of the Catholic Faith incontrovertibly, are effectively the living voice of Catholic Truth, the oft-sounded expression of it. For that very reason the true Church of Christ, even as she shows great zeal to guard inviolate those forms of divine worship - since they are hallowed and are not to be changed - sometimes grants or permits something novel in the performance of them in certain instances. This she does especially when they are in conformity with their venerable antiquity.

  Pope Leo XIII

• To what level does your patriarchal blessing reach in your life? Can you recollect the time you received it and recover any of the spirit of the occasion? Do you in quiet moments ponder it? Does Karl G.Maeser's phrase, "paragraphs from the book of our possibilities" rest upon you with a sense of mission so that, as President Heber J.Grant exemplified, "you "dream nobly and manfully" and prepare ceaselessly?

You are all meesengers. Every one of you. You are carrying a message to life about life every day. Every hour. Every moment.

• In order to be truthful
  We must do more than speak the truth.
  We must also hear truth.
  We must also receive truth.
  We must also act upon truth.
  We must also search for truth.
  The difficult truth
  Within us and around us.
  We must devote ourselves to truth.
  Otherwise we are dishonest
  And our lives are mistaken.
  God grant us the strength and the courage
  To be truthful.
  Amen
