“Paradise does not exist, but we must nonetheless strive to be worthy of it.”

“The electricity came on for the second time today wile we were eating.This may be a fool's paradise, but it's a paradise nonetheless.”

“First, we must love the Lord with all our hearts, and we must love our children. Second, we must become a worthy example to them by continually seeking the Lord and striving to live the gospel. Third, we must teach our children the gospel and how to live its teachings.”

“Remember this always: the fly, even in paradise, must always exist on shit.”

“Strive for perfection in everything you do. Take the best that exists and make it better. When it does not exist, design it.”

“It is the struggle itself that is most important. We must strive to be more than we are. It does not matter that we will not reach our ultimate goal. The effort itself yields its own reward.”
