along with reciting D&C 4 (and other various scripture references) every morning in my mission prep class, this quote was always read by someone in the class.
"to every man, there comes that special moment when he is figuratively tapped on the shoulder, and offered the chance to do a special thing unique to him and fitted to his talent. what a tragedy if that moment finds him unprepared, or unqualified to do the work"
~Winston Churchill
we also did this one quite often too
The Standard of Truth has been erected; no unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing; persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame, but the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent, till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, till the purposes of God shall be accomplished, and the Great Jehovah shall say the work is done.

i just want to add, as a random side not, that they were all sung. :)
They were all sung? You mean someone put the Winston Churchill and Standard of Truth quote thingy to music? Or you sung D&C 4 and the others were read? Or.... your side note confused me. :p
the only one not sung was the Winston Churchill one. the Standard of Truth we sang to "the spirit of God". D&C 4, we sang to "called to serve" we also sang page one of Preach my gospel "what is my purpous as a missioary? to invite others to come unto Christ...etc." to another hymn, and other various scriptures to other various hymns. the only thing we didnt sing was Winston Churchill. it was a great way to memorize them all (if you can remember what song they went to, and how the thing you want to recall starts)
