God will have a humble people. Either we can choose to be humble or we can be compelled to be humble.... We can choose to humble ourselves by conquering enmity toward our brothers and sisters, esteeming them as ourselves, and lifting them as high or higher than we are.... We can choose to humble ourselves by receiving counsel and chastisement, ... by forgiving those who have offended us, ... by rendering selfless service, ... by going on missions and preaching the word that can humble others, ... by getting to the temple more frequently, and by confessing and forsaking our sins and being born of God.... We can choose to humble ourselves by loving God, adjusting our will to His, and putting Him first in our lives.

But successful marriages are about more than fulfilling the conditions of a contract. In good marriages, men and women seek to improve themselves for the sake of their loved one. They offer and draw moral strength by sharing compassion, courage, honesty, self-discipline and a host of other virtues. Husband and wives complete themselves through each other, and the whole of the union becomes stronger and more wonderful than the sum of the two parts.

Over a century after the publication of the Copernican system, one of England's most renowned intellectual luminaries was still unconvinced 'Nevertheless, in the system of Copernicus there are found many and great inconveniences for both the loading of the earth with a triple motion is very incommodious, and the separation of the sun from the company of the planets, with which it has so many passions in common, is likewise a difficulty, and the introduction of so much immobility in nature, by representing the sun and stars as immovable, especially being of all bodies the highest and most radiant, and making the moon revolve about the earth in an epicycle, and some other assumptions of his, are the speculations of one who cares not what fictions he introduces into nature, provided his calculations answer.'
