The ultimate treasures on earth and in heaven are our children and our posterity.

When we face seemingly insurmountable obstacles in the fulfillment of righteous responsibilities, we should remember that when we are involved in the work of the Lord, the obstacles before us are never as great as the power behind us. We should reach out and climb. Handholds will only be found by hands that are outstretched. Footholds are only for feet that are on the move.

We have the agency to choose which characteristics will define us; those choices are not thrust upon us.

Religious insights and values are just as important today as they were 50 or 100 years ago.

We must change all elements of our behavior that are in conflict with gospel... covenants.

We need to lay hold on the feelings and try to control them to keep us from getting into a circumstance that leads to sinful behavior.

Well-taught doctrines and principles have a more powerful influence on behavior than rules.
