More From Joseph Hall

A sign, or representamen, is something which stands to somebody for something in some respect or capacity. it addresses somebody,that is, creates in the mind of that person an equivalent sign, or perhaps a more developed sign. that sign which it creates i call the interpretant of the first sign. the sign stands for something, its object. it stands for that object, not in all respects, but in reference to a sort of idea, which i have sometimes called the ground of the representamen.

Many people think that patience is a sign of weakness. i think this is a mistake. it is anger that is a sign of weakness, whereas patience is a sign of strength
Patience Mistake Thinking
Remain tranquil and prepare to bear still greater trials. all is not lost even though you be troubled oftener or tempted more grievously. you are a man, not god. you are flesh, not an angel. how can you possibly expect to remain always in the same state of virtue when the angels in heaven and the first man in paradise failed to do so? i am he who rescues the afflicted and brings to my divinity those who know their own weakness.
Angel Men Heaven
We should not be discouraged or depressed by our shortcomings. no one is without weakness. as part of the divine plan, we are tested to see whether we master weakness or let weakness master us. proper diagnosis is essential to proper treatment. the lord gave us this remarkable assurance: "because thou hast seen thy weakness thou shalt be made strong" (ether 12:37). but wishing for strength won't make us strong. it takes faith and work to shore up a weakened cord of integrity.
