I like this one:
Life isn't about
waiting for the storm to pass.
It's about
learning to dance in the rain.
But my favorite quote for the last 17 years has been this one:
Be not discouraged, neither allow the spirit of doubt or
gloom or despondency to come into thy life, for these are tricks of the evil
one to destroy thy faith and thy usefulness.
But look upon the bright side of life, to be cheerful, humble,
prayerful, and pure in thy devotion, and in thy habits, and the Lord will
remember thee in mercy. His power and
blessings will be upon thee. Therefore,
look unto the Lord in humility, and thou shalt be comforted in the answers to
thy prayers and be guided in the path of thy duty, day and night.

I could say "amen" right now- this is truth. This council (and even more so, the gospel of Jesus Christ that inspired it) has been the foundation of all the strength and hope and understanding that has carried me through everything as a young adult and parent. So, I say a big "Thank You!" to the random professor in the Smith Annex at Ricks College who had many copies of this quote in a little pass-along box next to his office door. You touched one student custodian's life in a profound way!
