“When you climb up a ladder, you must begin at the bottom and ascend step by step, until you arrive at the top; and so it is with the principles of the Gospel– you must begin with the first, and go on until you learn all the principles of exaltation. But it will be a great while after you have passed through the veil before you will have learned them. It will be a great work to learn our salvation and exaltation even beyond the grave.”
– Joseph Smith
“If we don’t change direction, we will arrive at where we’re going.”

He does not add to that which they do not improve upon, but they are required to continually improve upon the knowledge they already possess, and thus obtain a store of wisdom.”
– Brigham Young
“We become what we want to be by consistently being what we want to become each day.”

“It is the celestial glory which we seek. It is in the presence of God we desire to dwell. It is a forever family in which we want membership. Such blessings are earned through a lifetime of striving, seeking, repenting, and finally succeeding.”
– Thomas S. Monson
“If today you are a little better than you were yesterday, then that’s enough.”
– David A. Bednar
“God, as our loving Father, will stretch our souls at times. The soul is like a violin string: it makes music only when it is stretched.”
