John Bytheway

“What will he [Satan] do first? Prevent spirits from coming to earth. How will he do this? He'll do all in his power to promote abortion. He'll convince people to have no children. He will raise fears about over population and encourage governments to make laws that limit the number of children couples can have. He'll do whatever he can to keep those spirits form coming!”

“Oh, seriously--how could you be miserable with twenty thingamabobs AND a snarfblat?!”

“Seriously--you've got TWENTY thingamabobs AND a snarfblat!”

“Go and do, don't sit and stew.”

“Popularity ends on yearbook day-Respect stays forever.”

“Some people will dream big dreams while others will wake up and do them.”

“The miserable think that what they have is never enough. Like the Little Mermaid, who owned no more than twenty thingamabobs, they say, "But who cares, no big deal, I want MORE." (How could you be miserable with twenty thingamabobs?)”

“And I, Nephi, took one of the daughters of Ishmael to wife.' Well Mr. Go-And-Do just went and did!”

“The best way to prepare for death is to live life to its fullest. ”

“When people point fingers at someone else, they should remember that three fingers are pointing back at them.”

“The Imagi-Nation is a little country in your head. When you're young, you go there to play. When you get older, you go there to worry.”

“Inch by inch, life's a cinch. Yard by yard, life's hard.”

“Say no to parking lots!”

“We don’t LOVE our Grandmas because they look like super models. We love them because of WHO they are”

“Be prepared. *smacks chest*”

“you cannot find happiness, outside the plan of happiness!”

“It is better to be respected than it is to be popular. Popularity ends on yearbook day, but respect lasts forever.”

“If your only nice to the people that are nice to you, big deal; what do you want, a gist certificate? Everyone does that. And if you only say "hi" in the hall to the people that say hi to you, what are doing more than anyone else?Maybe you know people who are different when they're alone than when they're with their friends. they might say "hi" to you if your alone, but with a group they act like they've never seen you. ”

“don't do things that kill you.”

“Everyone would like to have stronger faith. By themselves, the scriptures may not strengthen your faith, but being faithful to what they teach, does. In other words, faith cannot be separated from faithfulness.”

“If someone were to ask whether communications skills or meekness is most important to a marriage, I'd answer meekness, hands down. You can be a superb communicator but still never have the humility to ask, 'Is it I?' Communication skills are no substitute for Christlike attributes. As Dr. Douglas Brinley has observed, 'Without theological perspectives, secular exercises designed to improve our relationship and our communication skills (the common tools of counselors and marriage books) will never work any permanent change in one's heart: they simply develop more clever and skilled fighters!”

“If our testimonies are strong onthis point and if we feel the absolute assurance that God loves us, we will change our questons. We won't ask, 'Why did this happen?' or 'Why doesn't God care about me?' Instead, our questions will become, 'What can I learn from this experience?' or 'How does the Lord want me to handle this?”

“If you're trying to be miserable, it's important you don't have any goals. No school goals, personal goals, family goals. Your only objective each day should be to inhale and exhale for sixteen hours before you go to bed again. Don't read anything informative, don't listen to anything useful, don't do anything productive. If you start achieving goals, you might start to feel a sense of excitement, then you might want to set another goal, and then your miserable mornings are through. To maintain your misery, the idea of crossing off your goals should never cross your mind.”

“Say no to asphalt!”
