Whimsical Bandit: Falling

Genius stuff

Give me patience to wait until I can understand it for myself.
-Pres. Brigham Young

My dear brethren, the work of patience boils down to this: keep the commandments, trust in God, our Heavenly Father, serve Him with meekness and Christlike love, exercise faith and hope in the Savior, and never give up.
- Pres. Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Furthermore, I promise you that the light of His everlasting gospel can and will again shine brightly where you feared life had gone hopelessly, helplessly dark.
-Elder Jeffrey R. Holland

We are what we believe we are.
-C.S. Lewis

The world is a great mirror. It reflects back to you what you are. If you are loving, if you are friendly, if you are helpful, the world will prove loving and friendly and helpful to you. The world is what you are.
—Thomas Dreier

It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry, I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward in faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers.
-Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley

It is your reaction to adversity, not the adversity itself, that determines how your life's story will develop.
-Pres. Dieter F. Uchtdorf

In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.
-Albert Camus

Never give up on anyone. And that includes not giving up on yourself.
-Pres. Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Part of every misery is, so to speak, the misery's shadow or reflection; the fact that you don't merely suffer but have to keep on thinking about the fact that you suffer. I not only live each endless day in grief, but live each day thinking about living each day in grief.
-C.S. Lewis

Patience means accepting that which cannot be changed and facing it with courage, grace, and faith. It means being 'willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon (us), even as a child doth submit to his father.' Ultimately, patience means being 'firm and steadfast, and immovable in keeping the commandments of the Lord' every hour of every day, even when it is hard to do so.
-Pres. Dieter F. Uchtdorf

What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step.
-C.S. Lewis

Often the deep valleys of our present will be understood only by looking back on them from the mountains of our future experience. Often we can't see the Lord's hand in our lives until long after trials have passed. Often the most difficult times of our lives are essential building blocks that form the foundation of our character and pave the way to future opportunity, understanding, and happiness.
-Pres. Dieter F. Uchtdorf

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

For instance, as you and I face challenges and tests in our lives, the gift of faith and an appropriate sense of personal confidence that reaches beyond our own capacity are two examples of the tender mercies of the Lord. Repentance and forgiveness of sins and peace of conscience are examples of the tender mercies of the Lord. And the persistence and the fortitude that enable us to press forward with cheerfulness through physical limitations and spiritual difficulties are examples of the tender mercies of the Lord.
-Elder David A. Bednar

"The world around is keeps getting colder. Gradually people are adding more to their daily wardrobe. Being bundled up does little to prepare a person for the chilling of the Logan canyon winds though. I admit I don't wear quite the gear I should when heading up to my university classes. My class is at the other end of campus and by the time I get there I'm sweating more than is ladylike."

This was from December of 2013... I'm not sure where I was going with it but I'm fairly certain it was gonna be good! Just take a look at the title.
