Meaningful Quotes (circa 1999)


Thursday was Career day at the school, and I found myself sorting through my classroom shelves, looking for ways to kill time. I found my old Seminary binder; in the front, I have a sheet of quotes that “spoke” to me as a high school student. Don’t worry. I did not cite most of my sources. The English teacher inside of me is cringing right now.

(Note to Cassi: Do you know to what your Dad’s barnyard quote refers?)

Enjoy.

“Practically perfect people never permit sentiment to muddle their thoughts.”

"Only those who climb so high can fall so far.”

“A person is kind; people are cruel.”

“Doing God’s will = receiving God’s power.”

“I believe that right is right and wrong is wrong” –President Hinckley

“Don’t drive around the block a hundred times! –Brother Ricks

“And we just run around the barnyard, saying, yeah, sure!”  –Brother Ricks

Though no one can go back and make
A brand new start, my friend.
Anyone can start from now
And make a brand new end.

I love the simplicity and beauty found in words.
