It had never occurred to him that he should live in any other than what he would have called an ordinary way, with green glasses for hock, and excellent waiting at table.

We may handle even extreme opinions with impunity while our furniture, our dinner-giving, and preference for armorial bearings in our own ease, link us indissolubly with the established order.

In the things that really matter--our covenants, the commandments, and following the prophet--we need to be completely united. In the non-essentials, we have our agency to handle things as we see fit. But, in all things, regardless of whether we make the same choices or not, we are to treat each other with dignity and respect, both of which are evidences of charity in our hearts and lives.

Mary Zimmerman

More than anything else, I believe it's our decisions, not the conditions of our lives, that determine our destiny.

Anthony Robbins

There are three stages in scientific discovery. First, people deny that it is true, then they deny that it is important; finally they credit the wrong person.
