Since I'm behind on my reading, I try to get caught up by requesting 2 reading assignments a day. Some days it works, some days it doesn't.
"Receiving the Holy Ghost is the therapy which effects forgiveness and heals the sin-sick soul."
--Marion G. Romney, "The Holy Ghost", Ensign, May 1974, 90
And another one:
"Let us never lose sight of the fact that education is a preparation for life -- and that preparing for life is far more than knowing how to make a living or how to land on the moon. Preparing for life means building personal integrity, developing a sound sense of values, increasing the capacity and willingness to serve. Education must have its roots in moral principles. If we lose sight of that fact in our attempt to match our educational system against that of the materialists, we shall have lost far more than we could possibly gain."
--Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson, p. 297
I didn't finish this last night, so I'll just add on tonight's. One of the quotes was a repeat,
"Meekness is vital to becoming more Christlike. Without it one cannot develop other important virtues. . . Acquiring meekness is a process. . . More meekness does not translate to weakness, but it is the presentation of self in a posture of kindness and gentleness. It reflects certitude, strength, serenity; it reflects a healthy self-esteem and a genuine self-control (Neal A. Maxwell, "Meekly Drenched in Destiny," in Brigham Young University 1982-83 Fireside and Devotional Speeches [1983], 2). More meekness will allow us to be tutored by the Spirit."
--H. David Burton, More Holiness Give Me, Ensign, Nov. 2004, 99
