This weekend I’ve been thinking a lot about the one-liners from scriptures that have stuck with me over the years — the ones that have made an impact on my life and come to mind when I need them. Over the next few days I’ll be posting some of my favorites. Here’s a few to start. These are all from the first 2 books of the Book of Mormon:
