You will learn more from your friends than you ever will from books. Choose your friends wisely

If you don't have time to pray and read the scriptures, you are busier than God ever intended you to be.

Anything and anyone that does not help you to become the best version of yourself is too small for you.

Who you become is infinitely more important than what you do, or what you have.

Whether you are sixteen or sixty, the rest of your life is ahead of you. You cannot change one moment of your past, but you can change your whole future. Now is your time.

Our essential purpose is to become the best version of ourselves.

We become the books we read.

Thought determines action. Do not let your whole life be a reaction to the things that happen around you each day. Let your life be an action.

Freedom is not the ability to do whatever you want. Freedom is the strength of character to do what is good, true, noble, and right.

Character is built little by little, over days, weeks, months, and years, with thousands of small and seemingly insignificant acts of discipline.

Every journey to something is a journey away from something

I loved you before all of this. When there was nothing. When there was only a single atom in the night sky.

We are all foolish sinners saved only by grace & we can all use a little guidance sometimes.

But God has not called us to be like those around us. He has called us to be like Himself. Holiness is nothing less than conformity to the character of God.

That's the way progress works: the more we build up these vast repertoires of scientific and technological understanding, the more we conceal them.

Everybody isn't everybody.

When commenting on the turmoil and disorder of the world, If the other planets are inhabited, they must be using this earth as their insane asylum.

To promote laughter without joining in it greatly heightens the effect.

I see the artist as a participant, a co-producer of reality.

And so it's inescapable and people who proclaim scrupulous honesty can only proclaim that if they don't examine closely the things they believe.

Let all of life be an unfettered howl. Like the crowd greeting the gladiator. Don't stop to think, don't interrupt the scream, exhale, release life's rapture.
