Our souls thrilled by his Spirit

“The Savior has stretched forth His hand to each of us… we don’t have to run alone. As we advance toward the finish line… it is He who bears us up when we need more air to breathe or direction to follow or even more courage to continue.”

W. Craig Zwick

 

 

“Emerson once made this meaningful statement: ‘Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is to you.’ How true! What wise counsel! We cannot get away from ourselves. We must continue to live with ourselves, and what we do every day and how we respond to life determines the kind of YOU we are going to be and live with and how successful and happy we will be with the YOU we are.”

N. Eldon Tanner

 

 

“The hand of God is stretched out for the salvation of this people, and however dark the clouds may appear; however strong persecution, oppression and opposition may become to this work, the Lord has, from its commencement, until to-day watched over its interests, and has sustained and preserved it, and he will continue to do so until its consummation; until Zion arises and puts on her beautiful garments, and all the great events of the last days are accomplished.”

Wilford Woodruff

 

 

“’With all thy getting get understanding.’ Understanding of what? Understanding of ourselves, of the purposes of life, of our relationship to God who is our Father, of the great divinely given principles that for centuries have provided the sinew of man’s real progress!”

Gordon B. Hinckley

 

 

“’Behold, the Lord requireth the heart and a willing mind; and the willing and obedient shall eat the good of the land of Zion in these last days.’  That is a priceless promise. As you continue to center your mind and heart in Him, He will help you have a rich and full life no matter what happens in the world around you.”

Richard G. Scott

 

 

“…I believe that a lack of patience is a major cause of the difficulties and unhappiness in the world today. Too often, we are impatient with ourselves, with our family members and friends, and even with the Lord. We seem to demand what we want right now, regardless of whether we have earned it, whether it would be good for us, or whether it is right.”

Joseph B. Wirthlin

 

 

“It is not imagination that we can approach God and receive light and guidance from him, and that our minds will be enlightened and our souls thrilled by his Spirit. When you kneel down to pray at night, do you feel his nearness, his personality hearing you, do you feel a power that operates perhaps as the radio or a greater power so that you feel that you are communing with him?”

David O. McKay

 

 

“Greater peace will come as you couple your efforts to be obedient with serving those around you. So many individuals who have what they perceive to be meager talents humbly and

generously use those talents to bless the lives of those around them.”

Richard G. Scott

 

 

“Your talents will expand as you study and learn. You will be able to better assist your families in their learning, and you will have peace of mind in knowing that you have prepared yourself for the eventualities that you may encounter in life.”

 

Thomas S. Monson

 

 

“Bitterness injures the one who carries it.”

 

Spencer W. Kimball

 

 

“One may have many talents and knowledge but never acquire

 

wisdom because he does not learn to be compassionate with his fellow man.”

 

Marvin J. Ashton

 

 

“When you are in the line of your duty, it is like standing in front of a line of posts, and every post is in line.

 

But step one step aside, and every post looks as though it were not quite in line.

 

The farther you get away from that straight line, the more crooked the posts will appear.

 

It is the straight and narrow path of duty that will lead you and me back to the presence of God.”

 

Heber J. Grant
