The Atonement of Jesus Christ is real; it brings immortality to all and opens the door to eternal life. The gospel of Jesus Christ is again on the earth. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is true and living.

To those who have separated themselves from the Church, I say, my dear friends, there is yet a place for you here.

Patience is not simply enduring; it is enduring well!

When we stumble don't get discouraged. Get up and Keep Trying.

We shouldn't wait to be happy until we reach some future point, only to discover that happiness was already available all the time!

You can't go through life on "Borrowed light.

There are those among you who, although young, have already suffered a full measure of grief and sorrow. My heart is filled with compassion and love for you. How dear you are to the Church. How beloved you are of your Heavenly Father. Though it may seem that you are alone, angels attend you. Though you may feel that no one can understand the depth of your despair, our Savior, Jesus Christ, understands. He suffered more than we can possibly imagine, and He did it for us; He did it for you. You are not alone.
