Seek not for riches but for wisdom, and behold, the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto you be made rich. Behold, he hath eternal life is rich. D&C 6:7
"True wisdom cannot be obtained unless it is built on a foundation of true humility and gratitude."
Gordon B. Hinckley
I know I have already shared another quote but I really wanted to share these also. I think these quotes are my favorite because they are so true in there meaning. In President Gordon B. Hinckley's quote it's so true what he said cause you can't have wisdom without having humility and gratitude. In the Doctrine and Covenants I can't wait until I have the wisdom that they are talking about. I think most of us seek for riches (including myself) but I want to start looking for wisdom.

Integrity (Player #1)
"All the water in the world, however hard it tries...can never sink the smallest ship unless it gets inside. And all the evil in the world the blackest kind of sin...can never hurt you in the least, unless you let it in." Author Unknown
I love this quote because it reminds me that sin never forces its way into my boat but I let it in. I think we all need a reminder sometimes.

(Player #1) Reading "The Real George Washington"
I'm reading "The Real George Washington". It's really good. There are some really cool stories of him that when you read them you just want to JUMP FOR JOY. I can understand why they elected him for president (even though he didn't want to). If you have a problem reading history I recommend this book. I'm going to share with you one of the stories I like (I'm not going to change the words).
The Indispensable American
One wintry day Colonel John Glover raced up to the General's headquarters and reported breathlessly that fighting had erupted between his Massachusetts regiment and Daniel Morgan's crack Virginia rifleman. The incident had begun with some hard words and an angry exchange of snowballs; within minutes more than a thousand men were slugging it out in the open, snow-covered field. The camp officers desperately tried to restore order, but the brawl ignited pent-up passions that had been smoldering for months. Soon the rioting was completely out of control. Without waiting to hear the whole story, Washington leaped onto his saddled horse outside the door and started off at full gallop toward Glover's camp. His stallion flew over the pasture bars into the midst of the rioting troops. In an instant the six-foot, three-and-a-half-inch General was on the ground, rushing into the fray. He"seized two tall, brawny riflemen by the throat, keeping them at arms length, and shook them in his powerful grip while thundering commands at their fellow soldiers. Immediately the tumult ceased.
"From the moment I saw Washington leap the bars at Cambridge," reflected a prominent colonial leader who witnessed the incident,"and realized his personal ascendancy over the turbulent tempers of his men in their moments of wildest excitement, I never faltered in the faith that we had the right man to lead the cause of American liberty."
