Quote -- Albert Einstein

Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving.
~~ Albert Einstein

Quotes -- Gordon B. Hinckley

"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than education, than what other people think, say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company - a church - a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change the fact that people will act a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable, the only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you--we are in charge of our attitudes."

~~ President Gordon B. Hinckley

Quote -- John Taylor

"When we live our religion, when we walk according to the light of the Spirit of God, when we purge ourselves [of] impurity and corruption, and the sweet whispering of the Spirit of the Lord pours intelligence into our bosoms, broods over us, causing peace and joy to be with us, we have then, more or less, a faint glimpse of those things that are laid up for the faithful, and it is then we feel as though we and all that we have are in the hands of the Lord and that we are ready to offer ourselves [as] a sacrifice for the accomplishment of his purposes upon the earth."
~~John Taylor, in Teachings of Presidents of the Church: John Taylor [2001], 151

Quote -- Albert Einstein

It is the duty of every citizen according to his best capacities to give validity to his convictions in political affairs.

Quote -- Lewis H. Lapham

Leadership consists not in degrees of technique but in traits of character; it requires moral rather than athletic or intellectual effort, and it imposes on both leader and follower alike the burdens of self-restraint.
~~ Lewis H. Lapham

Quote -- Albert Einstein

It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.

Dancing MATT

Make sure you go to YouTube and watch this in HD. You can even go full screen and it looks great. Lots of fun places to go in just under 4 years. . . Hopefully Matt had someone funding his adventure.

Quote -- Trials and Tribulation

"Our trials can either end up hardening our heart or humbling us. How true the saying that suffering in life is inevitable, but misery is of our own making. In other words, because of the plan that we all agreed upon in the premortal life, we are going to suffer, whether we want to or not. However, if you can find how to suffer that tribulation in the Redeemer's name, you will bear it well and perhaps even do it with an understanding, happy heart."
~~Elder Gene R. Cook, "BYU Devotional", February 1, 2005

Quote -- Albert Einstein

I want to know God's thoughts; the rest are details.

Quote -- Albert Einstein

I never think of the future. It comes soon enough.

Quotes -- Bertrand Russell

"No one gossips about other people's secret virtues."
~ Bertrand Russell

Quote -- Mary Pickford

You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call 'failure' is not the falling down, but the staying down. ~ Mary Pickford

Quote -- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
