The work of our missionaries is a magnificent expression of the Lord's redeeming love.

A God who makes no demands, is the functional equivalent of a God who does not exist.

You cannot lift others to virtue on the one hand if you are entertaining vice on the other.

I testify that in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is found the priesthood authority to administer the ordinances by which we can enter into binding covenants with our Heavenly Father in the name of His Holy Son. I testify that God will keep His promises to you as you honor your covenants with Him.

Work builds and refines character, creates beauty, and is the instrument of our service to one another and to God.

The greatest service we can provide to others in this life, beginning with those of our own family, is to bring them to Christ.

We do not diminish the value of what women or men achieve in any worthy endeavor or career -- we all benefit from their achievements -- but still recognize that there is not a higher good than motherhood and fatherhood in marriage. There is no superior career, and no amount of money, authority or public acclaim can exceed the ultimate rewards of family.
