  prayer; and prayer is communion with God. It is the 'infinite in man
  seeking the infinite in God.' Where they find each other, there is holy
  sanctuary--a temple.

• Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy. For if you bake bread with indifference, you bake a bitter bread that feeds but half man's hunger. And if you grudge the crushing of the grapes, your grudge distils a poison in the wine. And if you sing though as angels, and love not the singing, you muffle man's ears to the voices of the day and the voices of the night.

  Khalil Gibran

• One of the blessings of the temple is the perspective that it provides. When we go to the house of the Lord, we leave all of our cares and problems at the door. And when we come back out, they’re still there. We have to pick them back up and they haven’t changed, but what has changed is us.

  D. Todd Christofferson

• If you have seen one of the temples at night, fully lighted, you know what an impressive sight that can be.
