Wishing will not make it so. The Lord expects our thinking. He expects our action. He expects our labors. He expects our testimonies. He expects our devotion.
Our lives will depend upon the decisions which we make, for decisions determine destiny.
We are a temple-building and a temple-attending people.
One cannot remember mother and forget God.
Our Heavenly Father is aware of our needs and will help us as we call upon Him for assistance. I believe that no concern of ours is too small or insignificant. The Lord is in the details of our lives.
I urge you to live within your means. One cannot spend more than one earns and remain solvent. I promise you that you will then be happier than you would be if you were constantly worrying about how to make the next payment on nonessential debt.
As we remember prayer and take time to turn to the scriptures, our lives will be infinitely more blessed and our burdens will be made lighter.
I think there is no place in the world where I feel closer to the Lord than in one of His holy temples.
If you are persistent, you will succeed.
Blame keeps wounds open; only forgiveness heals.
True love is a reflection of the Savior’s love. In December of each year we call it the Christmas Spirit.
We are going to make mistakes, but none of us can become an expert in family history work without first being a novice.
Lessons learned in the home, last the longest.
No member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who has canned peas, topped beets, hauled hay, shoveled coal, or helped in any way to serve others ever forgets or regrets the experience of helping provide for those in need.
I plead with you to have the courage to refrain from judging and criticizing those around you, as well as the courage to make certain that everyone is included and feels loved and valued.
My brothers and sisters, may the spirit of love which comes at Christmas time fill our homes and our lives and linger there long after the tree is down and the lights are put away for another year.
True love can alter human lives and change human nature.
May we show increased kindness toward one another, and may we ever be found doing the work of the Lord.
Prayer is the passport to peace.
There is absolutely nothing in this world that will provide more comfort and happiness than a testimony of the truth.
