Man unquestionably has impressive powers... But after all our obedience and good works, we cannot be saved from the effects of our sins without the grace extended by the atonement of Jesus Christ... Man cannot earn his own salvation.

Feelings can be controlled and behavior can be controlled. The line of sin is between the feelings and the behavior. The line of prudence is between the susceptibility and the feelings.

Whoever functions in an office or calling received from one who holds priesthood keys exercises priesthood authority in performing her or his assigned duties.

When we have a vision of what we can become, our desire and our power to act increase enormously.

Adversities are temporary. What is permanent is what we become by the way we react to them.

Though we disagree, we should not be disagreeable.

Our earliest efforts will be heard with joy by our Heavenly Father, however they are phrased.
