"Obedience is the great test of life."

-Thomas S. Monson

What he is meaning by this quote is that Obedience tests how you are and will be in life. Obedience determines how you can handle things, how you treat others, it shows a lot about a person overall.

"Your past is not your potential." 

- Marilyn Ferguson

I agree with what Marilyn Ferguson is saying in this quote. She is stating that what has happened in your past, doesn't reflect on your future potential. If someone is an athlete and plays in a team, he can average 4 points each Basketball game for 3 seasons, in that fourth season he can average 20 points a game, if he puts his mind to it.
