How beautiful it is to excel, and the goodness of giving from your heart.

One goes through school, college, medical school and one's internship learning little or nothing about goodness but a good deal about success.

Confidence in the goodness of another is good proof of one's own goodness.

I believe in one God, the first and great cause of goodness. I also believe in Jesus Christ, the rebirth of the world. I also believe in the Holy Ghost, the comforter.

In order to set forth the goodness of God towards myself, I have thought it prudent to record some of the leading incidents of my life, as a means of setting forth to my children that He is a rewarder of them who diligently seek Him.
