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

Everyone has gifts; everyone can contribute.

Of all your associations, it is your relationship with God, your Heavenly Father, who is the source of your moral power.

Any pain entailed in repentance will always be far less than the suffering required to satisfy justice for unresolved transgression.

We must be careful, as we seek to become more and more [Christlike], that we do not become discouraged and lose hope. Becoming Christlike is a lifetime pursuit and very often involves growth and change that is slow, almost imperceptible.

The Church and the world and women are crying for men, men who are developing their capacity and talents, who are willing to work and make sacrifices, who will help others achieve happiness and salvation.

We do not need to achieve some minimum level or capacity or goodness before God will help - divine aid can be ours every hour of every day, no matter where we are in the path of obedience.
