This guy should hire someone to ghost write his quotes. He couldn't come up with a pithy quote to save his life. Even the deranged Spencer W. Kimball could turn a phrase.
Look at this pablum. It sounds like he's trying to get a job for Hallmark:
In reality, we are all travelers - even explorers of mortality.
Our task is to become our best selves. One of God's greatest gifts to us is the joy of trying again, for no failure ever need be final.
As we seek Christ, as we find Him, as we follow Him, we shall have the Christmas spirit, not for one fleeting day each year, but as a companion always.
May I share with you a formula that in my judgment will help you and help me to journey well through mortality... First, fill your mind with truth; second, fill your life with service; and third, fill your heart with love.
Service, to be acceptable to the Savior, must come from willing minds, ready hands, and pledged hearts.
The greatest single lesson we can learn in mortality is that when God speaks and a man obeys, that man will always be right.
Noah had the unwavering faith to follow God's commandments. May we ever do likewise. May we remember that the wisdom of God ofttimes appears as foolishness to men; but the greatest lesson we can learn in mortality is that when God speaks and we obey, we will always be right.

My favorite Monsonism used to be on the welcome page at the Family Search site, but I think it's since been removed. What a gem:
"I testify that when we do all we can to accomplish the work that is before us, the Lord will make available to us the sacred key needed to unlock the treasure which we so much seek."
Yeah, good old Noah had the faith to follow a god who was bent on committing mass murder on a grand scale -- murdering a whole planet -- men, women, and children -- all accept 8 to have sex on a boat in front of animals.
Should doubt knock at your doorway, just say to those skeptical, disturbing, rebellious thoughts, I propose to stay with my faith, with the faith of my people.
He had some cool thoughts until he brought in the Mormon tradition of absolutes. I always thought that every day is/can be Christmas. I like listening to Christmas hymns in July while working out at the gym. O'Holy Night is one of my all time favorites.

I'm on it, thanks for the advice
