The Lord is no respector of persons, and will give success to all who work for it. If l can only impress upon the minds of the youth of Zion the eloquence, the inexpressible eloquence of work, I shall feel fully repaid.
Heber J. GrantPresident Heber J. Grant often quoted the following statement, which is sometimes attributed to Ralph Waldo Emerson: โThat which we persist in doing becomes easier for us to do-not that the nature of the thing is changed, but that our power to do is increased.'
Heber J. GrantI believe that we can accomplish any object that we make up our minds to, and no boy or girl ought to sit down and say, because they cannot do as well as somebody else, that they will not do anything. God has given to some people ten talents; to others, he has given one; but they who improve the one talent will live to see the day when they will far outshine those who have ten talents but fail to improve them.
Heber J. GrantThank God we are not to be judged by the opinions of our fellows, but by the work that we do.
