Quotes to Remember

Many things from past reading and studying - I'm kinda playing catch up with my posting, though I have been reading each day.  These quotes come from
Book of Mormon Student Manual of Religion 121 and 122 (Copyright 1989, 1996)


"To be trusted ..., is a greater compliment than to be loved, and you cannot violate that trust"
President David O. McKay
(p94, reference for Alma 39:1-4)

...

"... sin is intensely habit-forming and sometimes moves men to the tragic point of no return.  Without repentance there can be no forgiveness, and wihout forgiveness all the blessings of eternity hang in jeopardy."
Elder Spencer W. Kimball
(p94, reference for Alma 39:6)

...

"When one has wronged another in deep transgresson or in injuries of lesser magnitude, he, the aggressor, who gave the offense, regardless of the attitude of the other party, should immediatley make amends by confessing to the injured one and doing all in his power to clear up the matter and again establish good feelings between the two parties."
Elder Spencer W. Kimball
(p95, reference for Alma 39:12-14)

...
"Satan is increasingly striving to overcome the Saints with despair, discouragement, despondency, and depression..."

"When I do good I feel good, and when I do bad I feel bad"

"Sin creates disharmony with God and is depressing to the spirit. Therefore, a man would do well to examine himself to see that he is in harmony with all of God's laws. Every law kept brings a particular blessing. Every law broken brings a particular blight.
"Those who are heavy laden with despair should come unto the Lord, for his yoke is easy and his burden is light."
(See Matthew 11:28-30)
