“There are ships sailing to many ports, but not a single one goes where life is not painful.”

“Not so much two ships passing in the night as two ships sailing together for a time but always bound for different ports.”

“There are only two options for a ship: Either to sail to the sea and fight with the waves or rot in a port! The same is valid for the man!”

“Like the vital rudder of a ship, we have been provided a way to determine the direction we travel. The lighthouse of the Lord beckons to all as we sail the seas of life. Our home port is the celestial kingdom of God. Our purpose is to steer an undeviating course in that direction. A man without a purpose is like a ship without a rudder—never likely to reach home port. To us comes the signal: Chart your course, set your sail, position your rudder, and proceed.”

“Our heart is a port; allow every ship to come to the port; but let only the best one to anchor!”

“When we join The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we board the Good Ship Zion and sail with her wherever she goes until she comes into that millennial port. We stay in the boat, through squalls and stills, through storms and sunburn, because that is the only way to the promised land.”
