The gift of the Holy Ghost, if you consent, will guide and protect you and even correct your actions. It is a spiritual voice that comes into the mind as a thought or a feeling put into your heart....It is not expected that you go through life without making mistakes, but you will not make a major mistake without first being warned by the promptings of the Spirit. This promise applies to all members of the church.
~Boyd K. Packer
Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.

Greatness
Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.

Dreams
Never underestimate the power of dreams and the influence of the human spirit. We are all the same in this notion. The potential for greatness lives within each of us.

Success
Getting ahead in a difficult profession requires avid faith in yourself. That is why some people with mediocre talent, but with great inner drive, go much further than people with vastly superior talent.

Myself
I have to live with myself, and so
I want to be fit for myself to know,
I want to be able as days go by
Always look myself straight in the eye,
I don't want to stand with the setting sun
And hate myself for the things I've done.
I want to go out with my head erect,
I want to deserve all men's respect,
While in the struggle for fame and pelf
I want to be able to like myself.
I don't want to look at myself and know
That I'm bluster and bluff and an empty show
I never can fool myself; and so
Whatever happens, I want to be
Self-respecting and conscious-free.
