Thomas Merton
“October is a fine and dangerous season in America. It is dry and cool and the land is wild with red and gold and crimson, and all the lassitudes of August have seeped out of your blood, and you are full of ambition. It is a wonderful time to begin anything at all. You go to college, and every course in the catalogue looks wonderful. The names of the subjects all seem to lay open the way to a new world. Your arms are full of new, clean notebooks, waiting to be filled. You pass the doors of the library, and the smell of thousands of well-kept books makes your head swim with a clean and subtle pleasure.”
Thomas Merton, The Seven Storey Mountain

Sheri Dew
“On one occasion a medical colleague chastised Dr. Nelson for failing to separate his professional knowledge from his religious convictions. “That startled me,” he admitted, “because I did not feel that truth should be fractionalized. Truth is indivisible” (Hafen, Disciple’s Life, 165).”
Sheri Dew, Insights from a Prophet’s Life: Russell M. Nelson

Anne Berest
“The salt water we put on the table on the evening of Pesach represents the tears of those who broke loose from their chains. And the bitter herbs remind us that the life of a free man is inherently painful. Listen carefully, son - the instant you feel the touch of honey on your lips, ask yourself: of what, of whom, am I a slave?”
Anne Berest, The Postcard

Russell M. Nelson
“As you make your testimony your highest priority, watch for miracles to happen in your life.”
Russell M. Nelson, Heart of the Matter: What 100 Years of Living Have Taught Me

Sheri Dew
“Not long ago I heard a mission president ask a group of his elders and sisters what they thought the most difficult commandment to live would be after they were released as full-time missionaries and then throughout their lives. Their answers were varied, with many revolving around the challenge to live the law of chastity. The mission president listened intently, and after the missionaries had each shared his or her response, he said: “You will each have challenges, and, for some of you, temptations with morality will be among them. But I invite you to consider something: Throughout the rest of your life, your most difficult challenge will probably be to follow the prophet. There is going to be an increasing gap between his counsel and what the world insists is acceptable and reasonable. There will likely be moments when you don’t agree with something he says. But I hope you’ll remember what I’m telling you today, that your greatest safety will be in following the prophet. The prophet will always see things you can’t see and help you avoid pitfalls you otherwise might not recognize in time.”
Sheri Dew, Insights from a Prophet’s Life: Russell M. Nelson
