Happiness in marriage and parenthood can exceed a thousand times any other happiness

There is a divine purpose in the adversities we encounter every day. They prepare, they purge, the purify, and thus they bless.

Adversity is the refiner's fire that bends iron but tempers steel.

Don't take too much council from your fears.

Our agency, given us through the plan of our Father, is the great alternative to Satan's plan of force. With this sublime gift, we can grow, improve, progress, and seek perfection. Without agency, none of us could grow and develop by learning from our mistakes and errors and those of others.... I do not really think the devil can make us do anything. Certainly he can tempt and he can deceive, but he has no authority over us that we do not give him.

I encourage our Saints all over the world, wherever possible, to strive to stand more often in holy places.

Honesty is more than not lying. It is truth telling, truth speaking, truth living, and truth loving.
