When one is giving service for the advancement of humanity, when one is working without money and without price, with no hope of earthly reward, there comes a real, genuine joy into the human heart.
From Heber J. Grant
My wife Lucy was very sick for nearly three years prior to her death. At one time, I was in the hospital with her for six months.
As a man grows and increases in the things of this world, if he is not careful, he will lose the Spirit of the Lord, and he will set his heart upon the things of this world.
Every individual can improve from day to day, from year to year, and have greater capacity to do things as the years come and the years go.
When I joined a baseball club, the boys of my own age, and a little older, played in the first nine, those younger than myself played in the second, and those still younger in the third, and I played with them.
When I first began to learn to sing, it took me from three to four months to learn two simple hymns.
I have, all the days of my life, enjoyed singing very much.
When I was a child, next to my own mother, no woman that ever lived took as much interest in me, gave me as much motherly advice or seemed to love me more than did Sister Snow. I loved her with all my heart, and loved her hymn, 'O My Father.'
When I first began to learn to sing... I would get off on nearly every line and did not know it. I have learned to know when I am off.
I consider it one of the greatest accomplishments of my life that I have learned to sing.
