"Do not suppose that life changes so much that your experiences will not be interesting to your posterity. Experiences of work , relations with people, and an awareness of the rightness and wrongness of actions will always be relevant . . . No one is commonplace, and I doubt that if you an ever read a biography from which you cannot learn something from the difficulties overcome and the struggles made to succeed. These are the measuring rods for the progress of humanity ."
". . . What could you do better for your children than to record all the story of your life, triumphs over adversity, your recovery after a fall, your progress when all seemed black, your rejoicing when you had finally achieved?"
"Some of what you write may be humdrum dates and places, but there will also be a rich passage that will be quoted by your posterity . . . Remember, the Savior chastised those who failed to record important events."
--Spencer W. Kimball, “The Angels May Quote from It” The New Era Oct. 1975
