His infinite love for us

"…The ground must be carefully prepared for our foundation of faith to withstand the storms that will come into every life. That solid basis for a foundation of faith is personal integrity."
Henry B. Eyring
The world today speaks a great deal about love, and it is sought for by many. But the pure love of Christ differs greatly from what the world thinks of love. Charity never seeks selfish gratification. The pure love of Christ seeks only the eternal growth and joy of others.
Ezra Taft Benson
In a profound sense, a family is not alone. When it is consecrated to the Lord's work,
his Spirit will always be with them.
Barbara B. Smith
We are now in a day of trial to prove ourselves worthy or unworthy of the life which is to come.
John A. Widtsoe
  
Your character is yours alone to build. No one can injure your character but you.
David B. Haight
How important it is to know how to disagree without being disagreeable.
Marvin J. Ashton
The moment a man or woman becomes angry they show a great weakness.
Wilford Woodruff
Thanksgiving to be truly thanksgiving, is first thank, then giving.
John H. Vandenberg
"Hands that work are more blessed than Lips that pray"
Howard W. Hunter
There is one thing more serious than merely to not believe, and that is to not care.
Sterling W. Sill
Life is a mission and not a career.
Stephen L. Richards
Most fears in the end are fears of oneself and can be conquered by bringing in the Lord as an ally.
Arthur Henry King
Good conduct without the ordinances of the gospel will neither redeem nor exalt mankind.
Boyd K. Packer
"Spiritual healing…comes from bearing and hearing humble testimonies. A witness given in a spirit of contrition, thankfulness for divine providence, and submission to divine guidance is a powerful remedy to help relieve the anguish and concerns of our hearts."
James E. Faust
"…However late you think you are, however many chances you think you have missed, however many mistakes you feel you have made or talents you think you don't have, or however far from home and family and God you feel you have traveled, I testify that you have not traveled beyond the reach of divine love. It is not possible for you to sink lower than the infinite light of Christ's Atonement shines."
Jeffrey R. Holland
"Part of the reason the Savior suffered in Gethsemane was so that he would have an infinite compassion for us as we experience our trials and tribulations. Through his suffering in Gethsemane, the Savior became qualified to be the perfect judge. Not one of us will be able to approach him on the Judgment Day and say, 'You don't know what it was like.' He knows the nature of our trials better than we do, for he 'descended below them all.'"
Glenn L. Pace
"God the Father is merciful and has infinite love for you despite your faults. Only the voice of Satan will cause you to feel of no value. In contrast, the Holy Ghost will cause you to feel 'godly sorrow' unto repentance in a manner that fills you with hope of positive change."
Anthony D. Perkins
"True disciples are those who go beyond simple believing. They act out their belief…. Disciples follow the Divine Master. Their actions speak in symphonic harmony with their beliefs. They know who they are. They know what God expects of them. They mirror inner peace and certainty concerning the mission and resurrection of Christ. They hunger and thirst after righteousness. They know they are here on this earth for a purpose. They understand life after death. They believe that the transcendent event in the ministry of the Christ was the Atonement, culminating in the Resurrection."
James E. Faust
"There is no need for you or me in this enlightened age, when the fulness of the gospel has been restored, to sail uncharted seas or travel unmarked roads in search of the fountain of truth. For a loving Heavenly Father has plotted our course and provided an unfailing map obedience! His revealed word vividly describes the blessings that obedience brings and the inevitable heartache and despair that accompany the traveler who detours along the forbidden pathways of sin and error."
Thomas S. Monson
"Unwinding a habit that you have allowed to entangle you can be difficult. But the power is in you. Do not despair. The Prophet Joseph Smith taught that 'all beings who have bodies have power over those who have not.' You can resist temptation!"
Boyd K. Packer
"Our Heavenly Father did not launch us on our eternal voyage without providing the means whereby we could receive from Him guidance to ensure our safe return. I speak of prayer. I speak too of the whisperings from that still, small voice; and I do not overlook the holy scriptures, which contain the word of the Lord and the words of the prophets—provided to us to help us successfully cross the finish line."
Thomas S. Monson
"It was in Gethsemane that Jesus took on Himself the sins of the world, in Gethsemane that His pain was equivalent to the cumulative burden of all men, in Gethsemane that He descended below all things so that all could repent and come to Him. The mortal mind fails to fathom, the tongue cannot express, the pen of man cannot describe the breadth, the depth, the height of the suffering of our Lord nor His infinite love for us"
Ezra Taft Benson
