Testimony is personal knowledge, based upon the witness of the Holy Ghost, that certain facts of eternal significance are true.

Ordinary people who faithfully, diligently, and consistently do simple things that are right before God will bring forth extraordinary results.

I believe the best test of our integrity and honesty is when we personally enforce in our own lives that which ultimately cannot be enforced.

Proclaiming the gospel is not an activity in which we periodically and temporarily engage.

We frequently may press forward hoping and praying—but without absolute assurance—that we are acting in accordance with God’s will. But as we honor our covenants and keep the commandments, as we strive ever more consistently to do good and to become better, we can walk with the confidence that God will guide our steps.

Character is revealed in the power to discern the suffering of other people when we ourselves are suffering; in the ability to detect the hunger of others when we are hungry; and in the power to reach out and extend compassion for the spiritual agony of others when we are in the midst of our own spiritual distress.

The ancient Apostles were common men, and that was part of their credential.
