Dwan J. Young quotes:

Hopelessness may be the saddest word in our language. Despair is the enemy of our souls. It can paralyze us, halt our progress, and cause us to lose our way. But hope awakens us like a light shining in the darkness. We can endure all things when our hope is centered in one who will never fail us-our Savior, Jesus Christ, who is the light of the world.

The Lord wants us to be filled with hope-not just because it points us to a brighter tomorrow, but because it changes the quality of our lives.

Before we can teach our children, we must understand and live the principles ourselves. It is vital that the child learn from our example that what we say and what we live are the same.

That is the nature of hope. We do all we can, and then the Lord stretches forth his hand and touches our lives with light and courage and, most of all, hope.

I know the Lord is anxious to respond to us if we will only turn to him.

In the soft and gentle arms of a mother's love, children can come to know the voice of the Lord.

Each of us comes into this world separately, one by one. This is not an accident. I think it's the Lord's way of reminding us of the infinite worth of each soul.
