Explanation of My Name

  • Someone Beautiful

Jenkins Lloyd Jones

Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he's been robbed.

Most putts don't drop. Most beef is tough. Most children grow up to be just people. Most successful marriages required a high degree of mutual toleration. Most jobs are more often dull than otherwise.

Life is like an old-time rail journey -- delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed.

The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride.

Deseret News, 12 June 1973

We should never be discouraged in those daily tasks which God has ordained to the common lot of man.  Each day's labor should be undertaken in a joyous spirit and with the thought and conviction that our happiness and eternal welfare depend upon doing well that which we ought to do, that which God has made it our duty to do.
-Joseph F. Smith
