We seek to be like him so that we can always be with Him

 
 
“Women, you are of great strength and support to the men in your lives, and they sometimes need your help most when they are least deserving. A man can have no greater incentive, no greater hope, no greater strength than to know his mother, his sweetheart, or his wife has confidence in him and loves him. And men should strive every day to live worthy of that love and confidence.”
N. Eldon Tanner
“Our women are not incredible because they have managed to avoid the difficulties of life—quite the opposite. They are incredible because of the way they face the trials of life. Despite the challenges and tests life has to offer—from marriage or lack of marriage, children’s choices, poor health, lack of opportunities, and many other problems—they remain remarkably strong and immovable and true to the faith. Our sisters throughout the Church consistently ‘succor the weak, lift up the hands which hang down, and strengthen the feeble knees.’… Though they are not perfect and all face individual struggles, their faith in a loving Father in Heaven and the assurance of the atoning sacrifice of the Savior permeates their lives.”
Quentin L. Cook
“Your criticism may be worse than the conduct you are trying to correct.”
James E. Faust
Christ is our pattern, our guide, our prototype, and our friend.
We seek to be like him so that we can always be with Him.
Spencer W. Kimball
We are living for eternity and not merely for the moment.
Joseph F. Smith
We need to remove UNWORTHY from our vocabulary and replace it with HOPE and WORK.
Marvin J. Ashton
Live so as to have a quiet conscience.
Richard L. Evans
Progress is not created by contented people.
Russell C. Taylor
We ought to say in our hearts, let God judge between me and thee, but as for me I will forgive.
Joseph F. Smith
God will judge you by the way you make use of all your possibilities.
Marvin J. Ashton
A blessing always carries with it a responsibility.
J. Reuben Clark Jr.
Perfection is our ultimate destination.
Righteousness, or goodness, is the chariot to carry us there.
Michaelene P. Grassli
When men stop praying for God’s Spirit, they place confidence in their own unaided reason, and they gradually lose the Spirit of God, just the same as near and dear friends,
by never writing to or visiting with each other, will become strangers.
Heber J. Grant
 
I assert with confidence that the law of success, here and hereafter,
is to have a humble and prayerful heart, and to work, work, WORK.
 
Heber J. Grant
 
 
“if you and I ever get into the celestial kingdom, we have got to keep the law of that kingdom.
Show me the law that a man keeps and I will tell you where he is going.”
 
 
 
“The way we live outweighs any words we may profess to follow.”
 
Delbert L. Stapley
 
 
“I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and non-existent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey – now.”
 
Thomas S. Monson
 
 
“To build a house straight and strong, you do not choose crooked boards. So to build your eternal destiny, you cannot-you must not-limit lessons only to those warped to exclude revelation from God.Choose what you will learn and whose purposes you will serve.
 
But don’t place all your intellectual eggs in one basket of secular learning.”
 
Russell M. Nelson
 
 
 
“There is a refining process that comes through suffering, I think, that we can’t experience any other way than by suffering. . We draw closer to Him who gave His life that man might be. We feel a kinship that we have never felt before. . He suffered more than we can ever imagine. But to the extent that we have suffered, somehow it seems to have the effect of drawing us closer to the divine, helps to purify our souls, and helps to purge out the things that are not pleasing in the sight of the Lord.”
 
Harold B. Lee
