Introduction

I started saving some of these thoughts before I went on a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1952 to 1954. I don't pretend to be the only one that has thoughts that are worth saving. I just started saving them, and it grew into this thing.

Sources of Thoughts

Also, there are thoughts that I have collected from others that I have saved, and I have included some of my favorites. I have put dates on my latest thoughts. But I didn't worry about dates way back when I started saving this stuff.

Memory and Attribution

Maybe some of this has subconsciously come from remembering stuff from other people, so I went back and checked on a lot of it on the Gospel Link program for duplication, and I was able to get authors for some of them. I tried to avoid quoting anyone without giving them credit. But sometimes I have heard others use some of these sayings in their talks after I recorded them.
