If we will build righteous traditions in our families, the light of the gospel can grow ever brighter in the lives of our children from generation to generation. We can look forward to that glorious day when we will all be united together as eternal family units to reap the everlasting joy promised by our Eternal Father for His righteous children.

Young men, I challenge you to build your lives on a foundation of truth and righteousness. It is the only foundation that will stand the pressures of this life and endure through the eternities. The priesthood you bear is a special gift, for the giver is the Lord Himself. Use it, magnify it, and live worthy of it. I want you to know that I have a special and personal testimony of its power. It has blessed my life in so many ways.

The only shortage we have today is the shortage we have between our own two ears.

The world changes constantly and dramatically, but God, His commandments, and promised blessings do not change.

Enduring to the end is definitely not a do-it-yourself project.

A good character is something you must make for yourself. It cannot be inherited from parents.

What we need is a royal army of returned missionaries reenlisted into service.
