President 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. GrantIf we are faithful in keeping the commandments of God His promises will be fulfilled to the very letter. . . . The trouble is, the adversary of men's souls blinds their minds. He throws dust, so to speak, in their eyes, and they are blinded with the things of this world.
Heber J. GrantThe first great commandment was to love the Lord our God with all our hearts, might, mind and strength; and the second was like unto it, to love our neighbor as ourselves. And the best way in the world to show our love for our neighbor is to go forth and proclaim the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, of which He has given us an absolute knowledge concerning its divinity.
Heber J. GrantThank God we are not to be judged by the opinions of our fellows, but by the work that we do.
