A few of my favorite quotes

Today is one of those days where I just need a little pick-me-up.  So, I thought the best way to do that was to turn to one of my favorite things - BOOKS.  Here are a few quotes that I love and rely on, especially on days like today.

You don't get what you wish for- You get what you work for.

All I have seen teaches me to TRUST the Creator for all I have not seen. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

"All of us face different family circumstances and home situations.  All of us need strength in dealing with them.  This strength comes from faith in the Savior's love and in the power of his atonement.  If we trustingly put our hand in the Savior's we can claim the promise of the sacramental prayer to always have his Spirit with us.  All problems are manageable with that strength, and all other problems are secondary in urgency to maintaining a strong spiritual life."  - Chieko Okazaki

"And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall." - Helaman 5:12 (Book of Mormon)

          I especially like that there are 3 names to identify the source of where to build our foundation so there is no confusion.  What a comfort, what a blessing.

"if ye shall be obedient to the commandments, and endure to the end, ye shall be saved at the last day.  And thus it is, Amen."  - 1 Nephi 22:31 (Book of Mormon)

"I want to tell you; each and every one of you that you are well acquainted with God our Heavenly Father, or the great Elohim.  You are all well acquainted with him for there is not a soul of you but what has lived in his house and dwelt with him year after year. . . the fact is, you have merely forgotten what you did know.  There is not a person . . . but what is a son or a daughter of that Being.  In the spirit world their spirits were first begotten and brought forth, and they lived there with their parents for ages before they came here." - Brigham Young

"Everything will be alright in the end.  If it's not alright, it's not the end."
