“You have heard me say, a great many times, that there is not that man or woman in this Church, and there never was and never will be, who turn up their noses at the counsel that is given them from the First Presidency, but who, unless they repent of and refrain from such conduct will eventually go out of the Church and go to hell, every one of them” MenFirstsTurnsGivenChurchHellHeardNosesGreat MenPresidencyRepentRefrainGo To Hell Author:Brigham Young
“Now, justification in this life is given to us according to these three things: first by the laver of regeneration by which all sins are forgiven; then, by a struggle with the faults from whose guilt we have been absolved; the third, when our prayer is heard, in which we say: 'Forgive us our debts,' because however bravely we fight against our faults, we are men; but the grace of God so aids as we fight in this corruptible body that there is reason for His hearing us as we ask forgiveness.” MenFirstsHas BeensReasonBodyLife IsFightingThreeAsksGivenPrayerSinStruggleGraceHeardThirdsForgivingGuiltFaultsHearingDebtAidsThis LifeJustificationForgivenThree ThingsGrace Of GodOur PrayersRegenerationAsking For Forgiveness Author:Saint Augustine
“The fact of the matter is that, since we are determined always to keep our feelings to ourselves, we have never given any thought to the manner in which we should express them. And suddenly there is within us a strange and obscene animal making itself heard, whose tones may inspire as much alarm in the person who receives the involuntary, elliptical and almost irresistible communication of one's defect or vice as would the sudden avowal indirectly and outlandishly proffered by a criminal who can no longer refrain from confessing to a murder of which one had never imagined him to be guilty.” ShouldMayPersonsMatterFactsFeelingsGivenAnimalEmotionHeardInspireStrangeCommunicationMurderVicesDeterminedCriminalsGuiltyToneDefectsAlarmsIrresistibleRefrainObsceneInvoluntaryConfessing Book:In Search of Lost Time, Volume III: The Guermantes Way Source: In Search of Lost Time, Volume III: The Guermantes Way

“the writer must resist this temptation [to quote] and do his best with his own tools. It would be most convenient for us musicians if, arrived at a given emotional crisis in our work, we could simply stick in a few bars of Brahms or Schubert. Indeed many composers have no hesitation in so doing. But I have never heard the practice defended; possibly because that hideous symbol of petty larceny, the inverted comma, cannot well be worked into a musical score.” IfsWellsWould BeGivenPracticeHeardEmotionalMusicianToolsCrisisSticksMusicalBarsTemptationSymbolsScoreComposerQuotationsPettyConvenientHideousHesitationInvertedBrahmsSchubertLarceny Book:Streaks of life Source: Streaks of life
“Be ever gentle with the children God has given you; watch over them constantly; reprove them earnestly, but not in anger. In the forcible language of Scripture, "Be not bitter against them." "Yes, they are good boys," I once heard a kind father say. "I talk to them very much, but do not like to beat my, children--the world will beat them." It was a beautiful thought not elegantly expressed.” WorldKindChildrenBeautifulFatherLanguageGivenBoysWatchesHeardBeatsScriptureBitterGentleMy ChildrenGood BoyBeautiful Thoughts Author:Elihu Burritt

“I never did use earphones until into the Eighties or Nineties. I don't like to use earphones. I've never heard anybody sing with earphones effectively. They just give you a false sense of security. A lot of us don't need earphones. I don't think Springsteen or Mick do. But other people more or less have given in. But they ought not to. They don't need to. Especially if they have a good band.” PeopleIfsThinkingNeedsGivingUseGivenHeardSecurityOughtBandEightySpringsteenGood BandsFalse Sense Of Security Author:Bob Dylan
