I bear witness of the power of the priesthood given to the Church to protect us and guide us. And because we have that, we have no fear of the future. Fear is the opposite of faith. We move forward, certain that the Lord will watch over us, particularly in the family.

Behold, he who has repented of his sins, the same is forgiven, and I, the Lord, remember them no more.

Perhaps the greatest discovery of my life, without question the greatest commitment, came when finally I had the confidence in God that I would loan or yield my agency to him-without compulsion or pressure, without any duress, as a single individual alone, by myself, no counterfeiting, nothing expected other than the privilege. In a sense, speaking figuratively, to take one's agency, that precious gift which the scriptures make plain is essential to life itself, and say, "I will do as you direct," is afterward to learn that in so doing you possess it all the more.

The choice of life is not between fame and fortune, nor wealth and poverty, but between good and evil.

Inherent in the ordination to be bishop is both the right and the obligation to be directed by inspiration.

Young men speak about the future because they have no past, and old men speak of the past because they have no future.

We are not obedient because we are blind, we are obedient because we can see.
