“Don't ever, ever, believe anyone who tells you that you can just get by, by doing the easiest thing possible. Because there's always somebody behind you who really wants to do what you're doing. And they're going to work harder than you if you're not working hard.”
“There were no pre-adamic men in the line of Adam. I am not a scientist. I do not profess to know anything but Jesus Christ, and him crucified, and the principles of his gospel. If, however, there are some things in the strata of the earth indicating there were men before Adam, they were not the ancestors of Adam. Adam was the son of God. . . . He did not come up through an unbroken line of organic evolution. There had to be a fall. 'Adam fell that men might be.' (2 Nephi 2:25.) .”

“One whose spirit and mental strength have been strengthened by sparring with a never-say-die attitude should find no challenge too great to handle.

A person like this can truly be said to have learned karate.”

“As an author, I don't really think too much about being a celebrity. It's not like being a movie star or a TV star. It's not as if people recognize me when I walk down the street. That hardly ever happens, and it's just as well. But it is great when people know my books, when I walk through an airport and see them in the bookstore, or when I see someone reading a book on a plane or on a train, and it's something I've written. That's a wonderful feeling.”
