The choice of life is not between fame and fortune, nor wealth and poverty, but between good and evil.
Boyd K. PackerOur whole social order could self-destruct over the obsession with freedom disconnected from responsibility; where choice is imagined to be somehow independent of consequences.
Boyd K. PackerOrdinances and covenants become our credentials for admission into His presence. To worthily receive them is the quest of a lifetime; to keep them thereafter is the challenge of mortality.
Boyd K. PackerParents now are concerned about the moral and spiritual diseases. These can have terrible complications when standards and values are abandoned. We must all take protective measures.
Boyd K. PackerNo one of us can survive in the world of today, much less what it will become, without personal inspiration.
Boyd K. PackerYou cannot force spiritual things. A testimony is not thrust upon you; it grows. And a testimony is a testimony, and it should be respected, whether it is small or large. We become taller in our testimony like we grow in physical stature and hardly know it is happening, because it comes by growth.
Boyd K. Packer
