“Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without!”

This last Sunday Michelle Bell gave a great talk in Sacrament Meeting about being self-reliant.  Here are a few of her great quotes!

Zeith B. McMullin:
 “Work is the source of happiness, self-esteem, and prosperity. In the economy of God, there is no room for chicanery and greed.”

Brigham Young:
“I commend to all the virtues of industry and thrift, which I believe go hand in hand.  The labor and thrift of the people make a nation, a community, or a family strong.  Work and thrift make the family independent. “

President Hinckley:
“I believe in the gospel of work.  Work is the miracle by which talent is brought to the surface and dreams become reality. . . . . The process of stretching our minds and utilizing the skills of our hands lifts us from the stagnation of mediocrity. “

Spencer W. Kimball:
“The responsibility for each member’s spiritual, social, emotional, physical, or economic well-being rests first, upon himself, second, upon his family, and third, upon the Church.  Members of the Church are commanded by the Lord to be self-reliant and independent to the extent of their ability.”

Thank you Michelle for reminding us to strive for self-sufficiency.
