From Elder Holland:

“This is the gospel of happy endings.
If it isn’t happy,
then it isn’t the end.”

10 Favorite Americans.

Although this is an incomplete list, here's what I have off the top of my head...
  1. Thomas Jefferson.

    "Almighty God hath created the mind free. All attempts to influence it by temporal punishments or burthens . . . are a departure from the plan of the Holy Author of our religion . . . No man shall be compelled to frequent or support any religious worship or ministry or shall otherwise suffer on account of his religious opinions or belief, but all men shall be free to profess and by argument to maintain, their opinions in matters of religion. I know but one code of morality for men whether acting singly or collectively."

  2. Franklin D. Roosevelt.

    "The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today - Let us move forward with strong and active faith."

  3. John Adams.

    "I always consider the settlement of America with reverence and wonder, as the opening of a grand scene and design in providence, for the illumination of the ignorant and the emancipation of the slavish part of mankind all over the earth. "

  4. George Washington.

    "Happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected."

  5. Benjamin Franklin.

    "Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man. "

  6. thru 10. Our American soldiers.
