change

i made this up while chatting with a friend:

It’s never too late to change, but it’s always too late to change the past.

“Life is a competition not with others, but with ourselves. We should seek each day to live stronger, better, truer lives; each day to master some weakness of yesterday; each day to repair a mistake; each day to surpass ourselves.”

—Elder David B. Haight

another quote i like

Elder Marvin J. Ashton (1915-94) of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles said: “If we would know true love and understanding one for another, we must realize that communication is more than a sharing of words. It is the wise sharing of emotions, feelings, and concerns. It is the sharing of oneself totally.”
