The choice of life is not between fame and fortune, nor wealth and poverty, but between good and evil.
Boyd K. PackerNo one of us can survive in the world of today, much less what it will become, without personal inspiration.
Boyd K. PackerDevotion to the family and devotion to the Church are not different and separate things.
Boyd K. PackerTeenagers also sometimes think, 'What's the use? The world will soon be blown all apart and come to an end.' That feeling comes from fear, not from faith. No one knows the hour or the day (see D&C 49:7), but the end cannot come until all of the purposes of the Lord are fulfilled. Everything that I have learned from the revelations and from life convinces me that there is time and to spare for you to carefully prepare for a long life.
