All your losses will be made up to
you in the resurrection, provided
you continue faithful.
Never be discouraged. If I were
sunk in the lowest pits of Nova
Scotia, with the Rocky Mountains
piled on me, I would hang on,
exercise faith, and keep up good
courage, and I would come out on
top.
There is no such thing as
immaterial matter. All spirit is
matter, but is more fine or pure,
and can only be discerned by purer
eyes. We cannot see it, but when
our bodies are purified, we shall
see that it is all matter.
Angel of Fredericksburg
"General, I can't stand this," said
Sergeant Richard Kirkland.
The general replied, “don't you
know that you would get a bullet
through your head the moment you
stepped over the wall?”
I know that I may, but if you will
let me, I am willing to try it.
Whether or not those were the
actual words of the now famous
“Angel of Fredericksburg,” valiant
was his act of mercy in carrying
canteens of water to the wounded
who lay across the battlefield. His
title comes from an actual event of
bravery, never to be forgotten, for
he risked his life to relieve the
suffering of others.
Words of Mother Teresa
If you want a love message to be
heard, it has got to be sent out. To
keep a lamp burning, we have to
keep putting oil in it.
Loneliness and the feeling of
being unwanted is the most
terrible poverty.
Love begins by taking care of the
closest ones - the ones at home.

Eyewitness sightings of living
pterosaurs in the United States of
America---that sums up this
nonfiction cryptozoology book.
One sighting, in San Antonio,
frightened the two eyewitnesses:
“In about 1986, in the northwest
area of San Antonio, Texas. . . .
‘One evening, I was outside my
apartment . . . We noticed
something flying around across
the road . . . the size was much
too large to be any bat I have
ever seen . . . 6-10 feet across.’”

Fear not the light of unfamiliar hue. Washing sand at first, then penetrating the depths, it bids a hidden feast emerge at last.
A man is ethical only when life, as
such, is sacred to him, that of
plants and animals as that of his
fellow men, and when he devotes
himself helpfully to all life that is
in need of help.
Words of Albert Schweitzer
Words of Joseph Smith, Jr.
Words of Albert Einstein
A man should look for what is, and
not for what he thinks should be.
Any man who reads too much and
uses his own brain too little falls
into lazy habits of thinking.
Anyone who doesn't take truth
seriously in small matters cannot
be trusted in large ones either.
Words of Will Rogers
Chaotic action is preferable to
orderly inaction.
Diplomats are just as essential to
starting a war as soldiers are for
finishing it... You take diplomacy
out of war, and the thing would
fall flat in a week.
