“Our safety lies in the virtue of our lives. Our strength lies in our righteousness. God has made it clear that if we will not forsake Him, He will not forsake us.”
-Gordon B. Hinckley
“Regardless of what may come, may faith, immovable and constant, shine above us as the polar star. Now, today, we are faced with problems, serious and consuming and difficult and of great concern to us. Surely we have need for the Lord.”

“Today you can do some things. You could actually seek correction. You could keep a commitment. You could work hard. You could help someone else. You could plow through adversity. And as we do those things day after day, by and by we will find that we have learned whatever God would teach us for this life and for the next, with him. I testify to you; you are a child of God. Our Heavenly Father lives. Jesus is the Christ, our Savior. Through Joseph Smith, the knowledge of the plan of salvation was restored. If we act upon that plan as we should, it will allow us to claim eternal life, which is our inheritance. And if we act upon it, we will be blessed with a humility which gives us the power to learn and the power to serve and the power to rise up to the privileges that God wants to grant us.”

“My plea therefore is this: Let us get our instruments tightly strung and our melodies sweetly sung. Let us not die with our music still in us. Let us rather use this precious mortal probation to move confidently and gloriously upward toward the eternal life which God our Father gives to those who keep his commandments.”
-Spencer W. Kimball |
“Now I say that we are entitled to revelation. I say that every member of the Church, independent and irrespective of any position that he may hold, is entitled to get revelation from the Holy Ghost; he is entitled to entertain angels; he is entitled to view the visions of eternity; and if we would like to go the full measure, he is entitled to see God the same way that any prophet in literal and actual reality has seen the face of Deity.”
-Bruce R. McConkie |
"The only thing needed for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."

Eliza R. Snow, speaking of the martyrdom of Joseph Smith:
Had nature's self a heart, her heart would bleed
At the recital of so foul a deed
For never, since the Son of God was slain
Has blood so noble flow'd from human vein

“Prayer is a supernal gift of our Father in Heaven to every soul. Think of it: the absolute Supreme Being, the most all-knowing, all-seeing, all-powerful personage, encourages you and me, as insignificant as we are, to converse with Him as our Father. Our supplication can be brief or can occupy all the time needed. It can be an extended expression of love and gratitude or an urgent plea for help. He has created numberless cosmos and populated them with worlds, yet you and I can talk with Him personally, and He will ever answer.”
-Richard G. Scott |
“We live in a world of filth and immorality and trouble. Rise above it, stand taller, leave the world behind you, and walk as the Lord would have you walk.”
-Gordon B. Hinckley |
“We have so much to offer. Just think of what we have to offer.”
-Gordon B. Hinckley |
“God will put prepared people in front of prepared missionaries.”

Time Tested Beauty Tips
For attractive lip, speak words of kindness
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry
For beautiful hair, let a child run his fingers through it once a day
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you'll never walk alone
