You Cannot Lift Another Until: Harold B. Lee

"You cannot lift another soul until you are standing on higher ground than he is. You must be sure, if you would rescue the man, that you yourself are setting the example of what you would have him be. You cannot light a fire in another soul unless it is burning in your own soul."
--Harold B. Lee, "Stand Ye in Holy Places", Ensign, July 1973, 121

Peace: Christ & Unk

Peace does not mean to be in a place
where there is no noise,
trouble,
or hard work,
it means to be in the midst of those things,
and still be calm in your heart.
(unk)

"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you:
not as the world gives, give I to you.
Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
John 14:27
