“Without adversity, there would be no growth, and without growth, there would be no lesson to be learned.”

“Without growth, organizations struggle to add talented people. Without talented people, organizations struggle to grow.”

“. Religion retards intellectual growth, represses individual thought, is the adversary of science, the restraint against invention and the stalwart of what would otherwise advance our species into a peaceful existence, without want.”

“Personal growth has its price, and she was paying it without complaint.”

“Without God, life would end at the grave and our mortal experiences would have no purpose. Growth and progress would be temporary, accomplishment without value, challenges without meaning. There would be no ultimate right and wrong and no moral responsibility to care for one another as fellow children of God. Indeed, without God, there would be no mortal or eternal life. If you or someone you love is seeking purpose in life or a deeper conviction of God’s presence in our lives, I offer, as a friend and as an Apostle, my witness. He lives!”

“All growth is a leap in the dark, a spontaneous unpremeditated act without the benefit of experience.”
