"..he never requires more than I am able to give,
and what he does require of me is always appropriate to my knowledge and circumstances....
My obligation is to give all I have, not all someone else has, to be as good as I can be, not as good as someone else is."
“Because of the conflicts and challenges we face in today’s world, I wish to suggest a single choice a choice of peace and protection and a choice that is appropriate for all. That choice is faith… Choose faith over doubt, choose faith over fear, choose faith over the unknown and the unseen, and choose faith over pessimism.”
Richard C. Edgley
“Faith exists when absolute confidence in that which we cannot see combines with action that is in absolute conformity to the will of our Heavenly Father. Without all three-first, absolute confidence; second, action; and third, absolute conformity-without these three all we have is a counterfeit, a weak and watered-down faith.”
Joseph B. Wirthlin
“It is never too late to strengthen the foundation of faith. There is always time. With faith in the Savior”
…. you can do all things!
Henry B. Eyring
“If you take each challenge one step at a time, with faith in every footstep,
your strength and understanding will increase.”
James E. Faust
“I fear, as a people, we don’t pray enough, in faith. We should call upon the Lord in mighty prayer and make all our wants known unto him. For if he does not protect and deliver us and save us, no other power will”
Wilford Woodruff
"It is good to look to the past to gain appreciation for the present and perspective for the future. It is good to look upon the virtues of those who have gone before, to gain strength for whatever lies ahead. It is good to reflect upon thw work of those who labored so hard and gained so little in this worls, but out of whose dreams and early plans, so well nurtured, has come a great harvest of which we are the beneficiaries.
Their tremendous example can become a compelling motivation for us all.
Gordon B. Hinckley"

On those days when we may wonder if Heavenly Father has forgotten us, we have the assurance that each of His servants will receive "the light of the countenance of their lord, every man in his hour, and in his time, and in his season. And although it may not be our hour now, He will come because He is aware of us, He knows our needs, and He will bless us. He will walk with us.
S. Michael Wilcox
Faith, Hope, and Charity are known as the three great Christian virtues. And while we may feel as though we know how to exercise faith or extend charity, too many of us are overlooking hope even though it is exactly what we are seeking. Hope is more than an attitude of good cheer or a generalized faith in God. It is "the abiding trust that the Lord will fulfill His promises to us." It is more than just a wish that things will get better; it is a power that makes things better. It is a spiritual gift from God, and with His help, we can make hope a vital and vibrant part of our everyday life and of our eternal spiritual survival.
“Our Heavenly Father sees our real potential. He knows things about us that we do not know ourselves.
He prompts us during our lifetime to fulfill
the measure of our creation, to live a good life, and to return to His presence.”
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
"Consider the possibility that God sees the potential for your life in a way that you have not seen yet or are afraid to see. He is ready for you to choose to become the person He has always known you to be." …. choose faith over fear.
Laurel Christensen
“Respect for self is the beginning of virtue in men. That man who knows that he is a child of God, created in the image of a divine Father and gifted with a potential for the exercise of great and godlike virtues, will discipline himself against the sordid, lascivious elements to which all are exposed. Said Alma to his son Helaman, ‘Look to God and live’
Gordon B. Hinckley
