"Be the one who nurtures and builds.

Be the one who has an understanding and forgiving heart, one who looks for the best in people. Leave people better than you found them." 

---Marvin J. Ashton

My spirit shall be in your hearts.

"And whoso receiveth you, there I will be also, for I will go before your face. I will be on your right hand and on your left, and my Spirit shall be in your hearts, and mine angels round about you, to bear you up."

D&C 84:88

"There are several kinds of love.

One is a selfish, mean, grasping, egotistical thing which uses love for self-importance. 

This is the ugly, crippling kind. 

The other is an out pouring of everything good in you---of kindness and consideration and respect; not only the social respect of manners, but the greater respect which is recognition of another person as unique and valuable. 

The first kind can make you sick & small & weak.

But the second can release in you strength & courage & goodness & even wisdom you didn't know you had. 

Glory in it, for one thing,

and be very glad and grateful for it.

The object of love is the best and most beautiful. Try to love up to it.

And don't worry about losing. If it is right, it happens.

The important thing is not to hurry.

Nothing good gets away."

--John Steinbeck

Liberty inspires my soul.

"I am bold to declare before Heaven that I am just as ready to die in defending the rights of a Presbyterian, Baptist, or a good man of any denomination. It is a love of liberty which inspires me soul---civil and religious liberty to the whole human race."

---Joseph Smith Jr.
