I have a vision of artists putting into film, drama, literature, music, and paintings great themes and great characters from the Book of Mormon.

All through the ages prophets have looked down through the corridors of time to our day. Billions of the deceased and those yet to be born have their eyes on us. Make no mistake about it...this is a marked generation. There has never been more expected of the faithful in such a short time than there is of us.

No true Latter-day Saint and no true American can be a socialist or a communist or support programs leading in that direction. These evil philosophies are incompatible with Mormonism, the true gospel of Jesus Christ.

Faith is the foundation upon which a godlike character is built. It is a prerequisite for all other virtues.

Those who are heavy-laden with despair should come unto the Lord.

Man is at his best when complimented by the influence of a good woman.

I never travel across this great nation without experiencing a feeling of gratitude and thanksgiving for all that we have and are. As I see its broad fruitful farms, its humming factories, its gleaming cities, certainly it is easy to realize that we have achieved unequaled material progress in this great country.
