More From Isaac Bashevis Singer

If you keep on saying things are going to be bad, you have a good chance of being a prophet... [at least for your own situation. blind optimism is just as foolish. the solution is a rigorously balanced, rational outlook.]

How thankful we ought to be ... how thankful we are, for a prophet to counsel us in words of divine wisdom as we walk our paths in these complex and difficult times. the solid assurance we carry in our hearts, the conviction that god will make his will known to his children through his recognized servant is the real basis of our faith and activity. we either have a prophet or we have nothing: and having a prophet, we have everything

When called to the council of the twelve, october 4, 1963, he said in the salt lake tabernacle: i think of a little sister, a french-canadian sister, whose life was changed by the missionaries as her spirit was touched. as she said good-by to me and my wife in quebec, she said, "president monson, i may never see the prophet. i may never hear the prophet. but president, far better, now that i am a member of this church, i can obey the prophet."

God will not turn away from doing you good. he will keep on doing good. he doesn't do good to his children sometimes and bad to them other times. he keeps on doing good and he never will stop doing good for ten thousand ages of ages. when things are going bad that does not mean god has stopped doing good. it means he is shifting things around to get them in place for more good, if you will go on loving him.

I've always been quite mature because of the way my parents brought me up. they were very good at talking to me like a person rather than a baby, and i was around so many actors and directors from such a young age because my dad is an actor. i was more comfortable with adults rather than actually being an adult child.
