“There can be nothing more precious or enduring than the family”

Loren C. Dunn, Ensign, November 1974, 9

“…In the celestial glory, we are told that ‘God shall wipe away all tears from their
eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall
there be any more pain.’ Then faith and hope will replace heartache,
disappointment, torment, anguish, and despair, and the Lord will give us strength,
as Mormon says, that we ‘should suffer no manner of afflictions, save it were
swallowed up in the joy of Christ.’”

James E. Faust, Ensign, July 2005

“Let us arm ourselves with faith and stand firm in our convictions. Let us never forget that we are building a foundation for and with our family upon the rock of our Redeemer. Let us put our hand into God’s hand. With the Lord’s help we can build homes that are a righteous fortress.”

Virginia U. Jensen, Liahona, January 2002

“While waiting for promised blessings, one should not mark time, for to fail to move forward is to some degree a retrogression. Be anxiously engaged in good causes, including your own development.”

“A grumpy cynicism pervades politics in so many places on this planet. Holocausts, famine, pestilence, and tides of refugees have taken a terrible toll on human hope, with much of that toll coming from man-made, avoidable disasters… Does hope really matter, or is it merely an antique virtue? Without hope, what is the future of lubricating forgiveness among the human family? Without hope, why forgo now in order to preserve precious resources for future generations? Without hope, what will keep the remaining idealism from also souring into cynicism and thereby laying waste to governments and families—institutions already in such serious jeopardy?”

Neal A. Maxwell, Ensign, Nov 1994, 34

“Lehi, in counseling his son Jacob, makes a very challenging statement: “All things have been done in the wisdom of him who knoweth all things.” (2 Ne. 2:24.) If I interpret this statement correctly, it means that one’s wisdom is proportionate to his knowledge. This being so, how insignificant is the wisdom of man, which is based upon his limited mortal experience, when compared with the wisdom of God, which is based upon his knowledge of all things.”

Marion G. Romney, Ensign, Aug. 1985

“Inspiring music may fill the soul with heavenly thoughts, move one to righteous action, or speak peace to the soul.”

Ezra Taft Benson, Tambuli, Mar 1987, 2

“In preserving our freedom for self-determination, we cannot ignore the need for carefully ordered structure and procedure within government or any other organization. A careful balance must be maintained between that which is ordered for the welfare of the group and that which is reserved for the conscience and the incentive of the individual. This necessary balance of freedom and restraint is essential to right relationships within families and communities, and it cannot be ignored in our assignments within the Church.”

Dean L. Larsen, Ensign, May 1980

“It is incumbent upon us to put away selfishness in our families, our business and professional pursuits, and our Church affairs.”

Spencer W. Kimball, Ensign, Mar. 1985

“If the desires of our heart are contrary to scripture, then we should not pursue them further.”

Joseph B. Wirthlin, Ensign, Nov. 2002
