Quotes about choicest (14 Quotes)


    A written word is the choicest of relics. It is something at once more intimate with us and more universal than any other work of art. It is the work of art nearest to life itself. It may be translated into every language, and not only be read but actually breathed from all human lips; -- not be represented on canvas or in marble only, but be carved out of the breath of life itself.







    WHERE EAGLES REST Climbing higher, reaching upward, Ever soaring on. Mighty eagle stretching out your wings to fly For the sky. Dare to be an eagle free. Dare to fly an eagle high. Dare yourself, oh dare yourself to see, Dare to be. Through the blue sky heading for the sun, See the light ahead. With desire you can make that wish come true Its up to you. Dare to dream an eagle's dream. Dare to fly on your own wings. Dare yourself, oh dare yourself to be, Dare to reach. See the vision of what you can be You're a child of God. Choicest spirit everlasting destiny Waits for thee. Dare to rest where eagles rest. Know you've done your very best. With your Father you'll eternally be. Dare to see. Dare to rest where eagles rest. Know you've done your very best. With our Father well eternally be, Dare to see Where eagles rest.


    I know many men who are misanthropes, and profess to look down with disdain on their species. My creed is of an opposite character. All that we observe that is best and most excellent in the intellectual world, is man and it is easy to perceive in many cases, that the believer in mysteries does little more, than dress up his deity in the choicest of human attributes and qualifications. I have lived among, and I feel an ardent interest in and love for, my brethren of mankind. This sentiment, which I regard with complacency in my own breast, I would gladly cherish in others.


    My sons served excellent missions, and ... returned to participate in college athletics.... In their letters home, and even now that they have been back for some time, they frequently mention that the experiences in the mission field were the choicest and most gratifying of their lives. You young men, begin to prepare yourselves now for this marvelous experience.


    We are recipients of God's choicest blessings. We enjoy an abundance of material things beyond that enjoyed by any other nation in the history of the world but unless we keep alive a realization that all these blessings come from God and are a part of our great spiritual heritage, they may crumble as ashes in our hands. 'In nothing doth man offend God, or against none is his wrath kindled, save those who confess not his hand in all things and obey not his commandments.' (DC 5921)

    We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven. We have been preserved, these many years, in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth and power, as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own, intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us.
