Do you want to be happy? Forget yourself and get lost in this great cause.

Believe in the power of prayer - it is real, it is wonderful, it is tremendous.

If you serve a mission faithfully and well, you will be a better husband, you will be a better father, you will be a better student, a better worker in your chosen vocation. Love is of the essence of this missionary work. Selflessness is of its very nature. Self-discipline is its requirement. Prayer opens its reservoir of power.

The missionary who knows scripture and can quote it speaks with the voice of authority...May I suggest that in our family night gatherings we make it a project to memorize one scripture a week pertinent to this work. At the conclusion of a year our children will have on their lips a fund of scripture which will remain with them throughout their lives.

I condemn polygamy, yes, as a practice, because I think it is not doctrinal. It is not legal. And this church takes the position that we will abide by the law.

As you work with your associates to help them with their faith, you will save them and also yourselves.

Anger is the mother of a whole brood of evil actions. Divorce too often is the bitter fruit of anger.
