“Today we live in a world that judges its achievements by speed and busyness. We are so busy making things happen that we have little time left to think about the value of what is happening. We urgently need people who concentrate on the meaning of life rather than simply the speed.” PeopleThinkingWorldNeedsLittlesHappensTodayValuesLeftJudgingAchievementHappeningsBusySpeedThings HappenMeaning Of LifeLittle TimeTime LeftLittle Time Left Author:Joan D.

“We do not wish incorrect and unsound doctrines to be handed down to posterity under the sanction of great names, to be received and valued by future generations as authentic and reliable, ... Errors in history and doctrine, if left uncorrected by us who are conversant with the events, and who are in a position to judge of the truth or falsity of the doctrines, would go to our children as though we had sanctioned and endorsed them.” IfsChildrenNamesLeftWishGenerationsEventsPositionJudgingOur ChildrenErrorsDoctrineFuture GenerationPosteritySanctionsFalsity Author:Brigham Young
“So long as we judge ourselves by human comparisons, there is plenty of room for self-satisfaction, and self-satisfaction kills faith, for faith is born of the sense of need. But when we compare ourselves with Jesus Christ, and through Him, with God, we are humbled to the dust, and then faith is born, for there is nothing left to do but to trust to the mercy of God.” NeedsHumansLongSelfJesusLeftChristBornRoomsJudgingJesus ChristMercySatisfactionDustPlentyCompareComparisonSelf-satisfactionMercy Of God Author:William Barclay

“The desire of excellence is the necessary attribute of those who excel. We work little for a thing unless we wish for it. But we cannot of ourselves estimate the degree of our success in what we strive for; that task is left to others. With the desire for excellence comes, therefore, the desire for approbation. And this distinguishes intellectual excellence from moral excellence; for the latter has no necessity of human tribunal; it is more inclined to shrink from the public than to invite the public to be its judge.” HumansLittlesDesireLeftWishMoralJudgingDegreesIntellectualTasksExcellenceStriveLatterAttributesInvitesShrinksTribunalsMoral Excellence Author:Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
