Miscellaneous Pearls — Time-honored maxims from President Nelson
by President Russell M. Nelson
Time-honored maxims, by President Russell M. Nelson
- Hold on to the raft (he was ejected from a river raft during a family river trip, the raft represents the straight and narrow path)
- The Book of Mormon is the word of God (he shared the Book of Mormon with surgical colleagues, and insisted that they read it)
- The honors of men fade (an airplane in which he was a passenger almost crashed, and he realized how precious life is, not accolades)
- The Lord uses the unlikely (the Lord used him as the messenger to open up the eastern European countries to the Gospel)
- Care for others (Church humanitarian efforts)
