The real spirit of Christmas lies in the life and mission of the Master.

We have every reason in time and eternity to rejoice and give thanks for the quality of our lives and the blessings we have been given.

Faith is the element that builds the bridge in the absence of concrete evidence.

We need a more peaceful world, growing out of more peaceful families and neighborhoods and communities. To secure and cultivate such peace, "we must love others, even our enemies as well as our friends"

Surely taking the gospel to every kindred, tongue, and people is the single greatest responsibility we have in mortality. ... We have been privileged to be born in these last days, as opposed to some earlier dispensation, to help take the gospel to all the earth

We need to remember that though we make our friends, God has made our neighbors – everywhere. Love should have no boundary; we should have no narrow loyalties.

The gospel of Jesus Christ is not limited to a system of beliefs; it is a plan of action.
