"though we have rightly applauded our ancestors for their spiritual achievement...those of us who prevail today will have done no small thing. The special spirits who have been reserved to live in this time of challenges and who overcome will one day be praised for their stamina by those who pulled handcarts." (Neal A. Maxwell, Not Withstanding My Weakness, 18)

"If we don't have a clear sense of our identity and purpose, we are much more vulnerable to Lucifer. He of course knows this and accordingly attempts to blur our vision. He lies. He shades and obliterates the truth. Make no mistake about it: Lucifer will do anything to derail, disappoint, dishearten, discourage, and deceive us." (Sheri Dew, No Doubt About It, pg 7-8)
