A marvelous thing it would be to stand with confidence, unafraid, unashamed, and unembarrassed in the presence of God.
Gordon B. HinckleyBooks represent the accumulated workings of the human mind, the endless treasures of man's thoughts.
Gordon B. HinckleyI wish to be up and doing. I wish to face each day with resolution and purpose. I wish to use every waking hour to give encouragement, to bless those whose burdens are heavy, to build faith and strength of testimony.
Gordon B. HinckleyAbsence of gratitude is the mark of the narrow, uneducated mind. It bespeaks a lack of knowledge and the ignorance of self-sufficiency. It expresses itself in ugly egotism and frequently in wanton mischief. We have seen our beaches, our parks, our forests littered with ugly refuse by those who evidently have no appreciation for their beauty. I have driven through thousands of acres of blackened land scourged by a fire evidently set by a careless smoker whose only concern had been the selfish pleasure gained from a cigarette.
