Regarding Heber J. Grants penmanship As a youth, President Heber J. Grants penmanship was so poor that when two of his friends looked at it, one said to the other, 'That writing looks like hen tracks.' 'No,' said the other, 'it looks as if lightning has struck an ink bottle.' This, of course, touched Heber Grants pride, and he worked so diligently, so hard on it, that, while still in his teens and working as a policy clerk in the office of H. R. Mann and Co., he was offered three times his salary to go to San Francisco as a penman. He later became a teacher of penmanship and bookkeeping at the University of Deseret. In fact, with a specimen he had written before he turned seventeen, he took first prize in a territorial fair against four professional penmen.

The lily I condemnèd for thy hand,
And buds of marjoram had stol'n thy hair;
The roses fearfully on thorns did stand,
One blushing shame, another white despair;

And to his robbery had annexed thy breath,
But, for his theft, in pride of all his growth
A vengeful canker eat him up to death.

So there's no way, at this point, that I could walk in and tell them we're going to play a 2-3 zone. They would ban me.

How it is possible to imagine that a religion breathing the spirit of mercy and benevolence, teaching the forgiveness of injuries, the exercise of charity, and the return of good for evil, can be so perverted as to breathe the spirit of slaughter and persecution, of discord and vengeance, for differences of opinion, is a most unaccountable and extraordinary phenomenon. Still more extraordinary, that it should be the doctrine, not of base and wicked men merely seeking to cover up their own misdeeds, but of good men, seeking the way of salvation with uprightness of heart and purpose. It affords a melancholy proof of the infirmity of human judgment, and teaches a lesson of humility from which spiritual pride may learn meekness, and spiritual zeal a moderating wisdom.

Where is the power that made your pride?
'I got this today,' they say 'tomorrow I shall get that. This wealth is mine, and that will be mine too. I have destroyed my enemies. I shall destroy others too Am I not like God I enjoy what I want. I am successful. I am powerful. I am happy. I am rich and well-born. Who is equal to me I will perform sacrifices and give gifts, and rejoice in my own generosity.' This is how they go on, deluded by ignorance. Bound by their greed and entangled in a web of delusion, whirled about by a fragmented mind, they fall into a dark hell. Self-important, obstinate, swept away by the pride of wealth, they ostentatiously perform sacrifices without any regard for their purpose. Egotistical, violent, arrogant, lustful, angry, envious of everyone, they abuse my presence within their own bodies and in the bodies of others.

But he always saw her as she was, without disguise, and watched her on the dangerous way that she was going.

I'm not going to muck up his win by even entertaining the thought that he had an unfair advantage. Whether he made the weight or not, whether he had an advantage or not, is not the point. He landed a great shot. I made a big mistake. I dropped my right hand, and I paid for it ... I chose to accept that fight because of my pride, because of my honor, and because people deserved to see a fighter do his job. If this fight doesn't happen, this is bad for the sport.
