Obedience is the path to freedom.

Our natural gifts and abilities are limited, but when augmented by inspiration and guidance of the Holy Ghost, our potential increases many fold.

I believe that God has opened up these treasures on intelligence to enhance His purposes on the earth.

We acquire a testimony of the principles of the gospel by obediently trying to live them.

My dear young friends, I speak to you as one who stands on the edge of eternity. From that perspective, I see you as the choicest spirits ever placed on the earth. The promises in your generation's patriarchal blessings, if you are faithful, seem to exceed the promises in Sister Faust's blessing and in mine. ...I want you to know that I believe in you. I believe you can be in the world but not of the world.

Perseverance is demonstrated by those who keep going when the going gets tough, who don’t give up even when others say, It can’t be done.

Believing requires action.
