Until you destroy your body, you don't learn to appreciate it. Treat the body like a temple because the body is so beautiful. If and when you understand your body then you will respect it. The body is like a bud, until the sun rises it will not bloom, until it blooms it will not be beautiful or give perfume. So respect it, take care of it. ~Bikram Choudhury

I know that I need the scriptures like I need food. I don't miss a regular meal, and I don't miss regular scripture study. ~Henry B. Eyring
