"Favorite Quotes, Sayings, and Scriptures" (from January 11, 2010)

Eh...just for the heck of it. Laugh, cry, get angry, get inspired, or shake your head...whichever.




-"Man, looks like someone ate a big ol' bowl of 'Frosted DUH!' this morning."

-"To me, a beautiful and stuck up girl is like the Denver Nuggets...they look great at first and seem to be everyone's favorite, but they act like babies and always let you down when it matters most and leaving you knowing that you can do much better. A cute and down-to-earth girl is like the Utah Jazz. She's not gonna wow you right away, but shes consistent and will be a great long term commitment for you."

-"When i heard that, i was like "ooh" (disappointed tone) but then it changed and i was like "ooh!!" (excited tone). ---one of my blonde moments

-"Think of it as me being a king-size Baby Ruth and you're my fun-size Snickers friend"

-"Uh oh, i think i hear the "waaah-mbulance" coming....waaaaaaaah, wah wah wah wah"

-"The only safety we have as members of this church is to do exactly what the Lord said to the Church when the Church was organized....There will be some things that take patience and faith. You may not like what comes from the authority of the Church. It may contradict your political views. It may contradict your social views. It may interfere with some of your social life. But if you listen to these things, as if from the mouth of the Lord himself, with patience and faith, the promise is that 'the gates of hell shall not prevail against you'. ---Harold B. Lee

-"Perhaps the greatest charity comes when we are kind to each other, when we don't judge or categorize someone else, when we simply give each other the benefit of the doubt or remain quiet. Charity is accepting someone's differences, weaknesses, and shortcomings; having patience with someone who has let us down; or resisting the impulse to become offended when someone doesn't handle something the way we might have hoped. Charity is refusing to take advantage of another's weakness and being willing to forgive someone who has hurt us. Charity is expecting the best of each other." ---Marvin J. Ashton

-"How much pressure is too much pressure to remain true? How much disappointment is too much disappointment to stand firm? How far is too far to walk with a discouraged friend, or a struggling spouse, or a troubled child? When the opposition heats up and the going gets tough, how much of what we thought was important to us will we defend and how much, in that inevitable tug and pull of life, will we find it convenient to give away?" ---Jeffrey R. Holland

-"Let people repent. Let people grow. Believe that people can change and improve. Is that faith? Yes! Is that hope? Yes! Is it charity? Yes! Above all, it is charity, the pure love of Christ. If something is buried in the past, leave it buried. Don’t keep going back with your little sand pail and beach shovel to dig it up, wave it around, and then throw it at someone, saying, “Hey! Do you remember this?” Splat!
Well, guess what? That is probably going to result in some ugly morsel being dug up out of your landfill with the reply, “Yeah, I remember it. Do you remember this?” Splat." ---Jeffrey R. Holland

-"I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears, and sweat.
We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask what is our policy? I will say: It is to wage war, by sea, land, and air, with all our might and with all our strength that God can give us. . . .That is our policy. You ask, What is our aim? I can answer in one word: Victory--victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror; victory, however long and hard the road may be." ---Winston Churchill

-"I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how i react to it."
---Author Unknown

-"And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?

And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha." --- 2 Kings 6: 15-17

And ye cannot bear all things now; nevertheless, be of good cheer, for I will lead you along. The kingdom is yours and the blessings thereof are yours, and the riches of eternity are yours."
--- D&C 78: 17-18
