Summary:
From these quotes I learned that scriptures should be apart of your everyday life and that with them you have a greater understanding of the gospel. When reading them I find that I do better in school and in church. I find that I don't want to do bad when I read them. Reading them morning and night helps me to remember the savior more often in my day and starting and ending my day with scriptures makes for a happy beginning and a happy ending.
