Cultivate the habit of speaking well of others. Dwell upon the good qualities of those with whom you associate, and see as little as possible of their errors and failings. When tempted to complain of what someone has said or done, praise something in that person’s life or character. Cultivate thankfulness. Praise God for His wonderful love in giving Christ to die for us.
The Ministry of Healing, 492
Pray, pray without ceasing, and let nothing disturb your confidence in God. I want so much to tell every one of our people not to dwell on the dark side of the picture, but on the bright side—the side of faith and hope and courage.
Letter 138, 1903
The gates are ajar, and every mother‘s prayer, every mother‘s tears, every mother‘s entreaty for her children, is marked in heaven.
The Bible Echo, November 12, 1894
I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
Psalm 37:25
Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
Joshua 1:9
Better than any other inheritance of wealth you can give to your children will be the gift of a healthy body, a sound mind, and a noble character.
