No temptation, no pressure

Both of the quotes tonight are repeats. President Tanner's quote wasn't hard to find, it's the only one on the whole blog by him. "One of God's greatest gifts to man is freedom of choice," found here.

President Monson's name is the largest in the cloud, must be because there are more quotes by him than any one else. It also addresses choice & can be found here. "If we make the wrong choice, we have no one to blame but ourselves."

Be faithful

Slow & steady wins the race.
"May we all be faithful in doing the day to day ordinary things that prove our worthiness, for they will lead us to and qualify us for great things."
--James E. Faust, "Some Great Thing", Ensign, Nov. 2001, 46
And this next one is a keeper too. It is interesting they are in the same vein.
"One of God's greatest gifts to man is freedom of choice. At an early period in the journey through life, man finds himself at a crossroad where he must choose one of two great highways—the right, leading to progress and happiness; and the wrong, leading to retardation and sorrow. There exists this eternal law that each human soul, through the choices he makes, will shape his own destiny. Our success or failure, peace or discontent, happiness or misery, depend on the choices we make each day."
--N. Eldon Tanner, "Thou Mayest Choose for Thyself", Ensign, July 1973, 7
 President Tanner's quote is from the summer I was going on my mission. I wonder if I had my mission call yet.
