 Most of us have collections of sayings we live by.... Whenever words fly up at me from the printed page as I read, I intercept them instantly, knowing they are for me. I turn them over carefully in my mind and cling to them hard. — Ray Stannard Backer, pseudonym: David Grayson (1870–1946) US author, biographer

"Our inconsistency in the present situation is frightening. While millions accept promiscuity as a new way of life and excuse adultery even though it wrecks marriages and breaks up homes, at the same time we make it illegal to offer a prayer in some of our public places. While we teach sex in schools and publicly portray the vilest of filth on the movie screen, we virtually make a criminal of a schoolteacher who would bring a Bible into the classroom or who might ask the students to recite the Lord's Prayer. So far have we lost our sense of values! Some Americans protest reference to the Almighty in the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag, while others would eliminate 'In God We Trust' from our coins. Church attendance in most denominations is falling off at a rapid rate. Bible sales are down 25 percent, and some members of the clergy have lost their faith. The Almighty provided that we should observe a sacred Sabbath each week. We have flouted this law to his face, and most of us have turned his holy day into one of pleasure or of 'business as usual,' and yet the Sabbath was given as a symbol of allegiance to our Creator. How true it is that 'first we pity, then endure, then embrace' the repeated and relentless incursions of iniquity." - Mark E. Petersen, "Warnings from the Past," Ensign, June 1971, p. 47
