A biography for Sheri L. Dewhasn’t been written yet.
“I was a friend during school time, but not much after that. By the time I got to BYU, I was a social mess, an absolute misfit. There is not a shyer, more pathetic kid who stepped on that BYU campus than me.”
“Sisters, we as women are not diminished by priesthood power - we are magnified by it. I know this is true, for I have experienced it again and again.”
“There is no greater name for a leader than mother or father. There is no leadership more important than parenthood.”
“There is nothing this confused world needs more, nothing that inspires a greater sense of well-being, nothing that has greater power to strengthen families than the gospel of Jesus Christ.”
“The gospel of Jesus Christ is all about people. It's about leaving the ninety and nine and going into the wilderness after those who are lost. It's about bearing one another's burdens, with the ultimate burden anyone can bear being walking through this life without light.”
“My whole life, I've felt like I didn't quite measure up.”
“By virtue of who we are, what we know, the promises we made to our Heavenly Father, and the fact that we are living now and where we are living, I absolutely think we were all born to lead.”
“My progress on the piano and my motivation to practice increased dramatically when I caught a vision of my potential.”
“Sisters, some will try to persuade you that because you are not ordained to the priesthood, you have been shortchanged. They are simply wrong, and they do not understand the gospel of Jesus Christ.”
“The gospel of Jesus Christ is for everyone. We are all significant parts of the whole. I never think of myself as single; I think of myself as Sheri, a member of the Lord's Church.”
“I am innately very shy, and I have struggled with that challenge for years.”
“I had a lot of friends who were boys. I played ball with them, but we didn't date. They didn't ask me that much because I wasn't cute enough or because I didn't drink or party.”
“I know how to set an irrigation tube, and I helped with the harvest. I learned the law of the harvest without even knowing I was learning it. On the farm, you learn early that you reap what you sow.”
“The Savior isn't our last chance; He is our only chance. Our only chance to overcome self-doubt and catch a vision of who we may become. Our only chance to repent and have our sins washed clean.”
“We were all born to lead.”
“I drove a tractor almost as soon as I could reach the pedals.”
“You cannot have a relationship with someone you can't trust.”
“You were born to lead as mothers and fathers, because nowhere is righteous leadership more crucial than in the family.”
“It is easier to motivate people to do something difficult than something easy.”
“As sisters in Zion, we can be obstacles to the adversary's conspiracy against families and virtue.”
