Security vs liberty...

“Anyone who trades liberty for security deserves neither liberty nor security.”

"Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both."

Benjamin Franklin

Pursuit of happiness...

“The Constitution only gives people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself.”

Benjamin Franklin

Battle every day..[for] the Celestial Kingdom

Found on Becky Whitaker's blog:
"These words of President motivate and remind us that we can never give up the fight to endure:

"‘The men and women, who desire to obtain seats in the celestial kingdom, will find that they must battle every day [for this sacred goal].’

"[Brigham Young, as quoted by] Joseph B. Wirthlin, “Press On,” Ensign, Nov 2004, 101."
