Russell M. NelsonReality has a way of intruding. Reality eventually intrudes on everything.
Joe BidenThat’s another hallmark of truth, is that it snaps things together. People write to me all the time and say it’s as if things were coming together in my mind.

Francis BaconIf you are out to describe the truth, leave elegance to the tailor.

Bertrand RussellOnly God who made us can touch us and change us and save us from ourselves.
Billy GrahamThe more I see of deer, the more I admire them as mountaineers.

Winston ChurchillI have been chosen by God Almighty to be one of his messengers.

Isaac NewtonWhoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.
Albert EinsteinIf you can feel that Mother Earth is in you, and you are Mother Earth, then you are not any longer afraid to die because the earth is not dying. Like a wave appears and disappears and appears again.
