“Zion is a community of Saints who truly seek to follow Christ, becoming of one heart and one mind. This does not mean all are alike in personality, struggles, gifts, or circumstances but that all love the Lord and have covenanted to follow Him. There are "no poor among them" (Moses 7:18), which I take to mean that there is no one in Zion with nothing to give. All of our mortal experiences—the character we develop, the compassion we acquire, the discipline we build, the faith we cultivate, the gifts and talents we magnify—help build this Zion community that will greet the Savior when He returns”

“Today, more than any other time in history, the world needs women who know the Lord and know themselves—women who will take a stand. It is no wonder Satan tries to deceive, confuse, and distract women in any way possible. Women, particularly mothers, are at the very heart of the great plan of happiness. The battle between right and wrong, between good and evil, is real and increasing. We know it will accelerate. Satan has marshaled his forces for the last great battle. And this is our time—the time for us to be prepared in every way possible to receive the whisperings of the Spirit in our minds and in our hearts. Many are counting on us.”

“I believe that the lack of virtue in our society is directly responsible for many of our social, financial, and governmental ills. I believe that the disintegration of faith and families, and even financial unrest, are directly related to a lack of virtue in our society. And I believe that a return to virtue could save an entire nation.”

“The philosophies of men surround us. The face of sin today often wears the mask of tolerance. Do not be deceived; behind that facade is heartache, unhappiness, and pain. You know what is right and what is wrong, and no disguise, however appealing, can change that. Be the one to make a stand for right, even if you stand alone. Have the moral courage to be a light for others to follow.”

“To me it is a significant and marvelous thing that in establishing and opening this dispensation our Father did so with a revelation of himself and of his Son Jesus Christ, as if to say to all the world that he was weary of the attempts of men, earnest though these attempts might have been, to define and describe him. . . . The experience of Joseph Smith, in a few moments in the grove on a spring day in 1820, brought more light and knowledge and understanding of the personality and reality and substance of God and his Beloved Son than men had arrived at during centuries of speculation.”

“We do not always have the option of choosing our situations in life, but we can respond with faith and trust in the Savior. We can know that He knows and loves us and will be with us.”

“Two centuries ago, Edward Young said that procrastination is the thief of time. Actually, procrastination is much more. It is the thief of our self-respect. It nags at us and spoils our fun. It deprives us of the fullest realization of our ambitions and hopes. Knowing this, we jar ourselves back to reality with the sure knowledge that, 'This is my day of opportunity. I will not waste it.' Our attitude, then, is to make the most of our God-given talents. To study, to learn, to achieve, to excel, to prepare for our life's opportunities.”

“The most meaningful and spiritual prayers I have experienced contained many expressions of thanks and few, if any, requests. As I am blessed now to pray with apostles and prophets, I find among these modern-day leaders of the Savior's Church the same characteristic that describes Captain Moroni in the Book of Mormon: these are men whose hearts swell with thanksgiving to God for the many privileges and blessings which He bestows upon His people (see Alma 48:12). Also, they do not multiply many words, for it is given unto them what they should pray, and they are filled with desire (see 3 Nephi 19:24). The prayers of prophets are childlike in their simplicity and powerful because of their sincerity.”

“In our efforts to create an environment that shows reverence to the Savior, we may inadvertently send a message that only the respectable, the sinless, and the elegant are worthy to come unto Christ. The natural product of such a message is a new definition of righteousness, one that is outwardly recognizable to a casual observer. That revised definition automatically excludes those whose mortal struggles are obvious, who battle emotional demons, or who appear different from the rest of the community. . . . Would Christ be offended to have the outcasts, the unclean, and those who are battling temptation join the respectable believers in worship services? I don't think so.”

“Personal revelation requires that our Father in Heaven know us personally. He knows our names and our personal challenges. He knows what we have the power to become. He knows the influence we can be in making not just a difference but a profound difference—not in the entire world, perhaps, but within our circle of influence.”

“In each instance [of service to another] you will realize that you have returned with no diminution of ability but with a heart filled with gratitude, for you will find you have been on the Lord's errand and have been the beneficiary of His help and blessings.”

“It is not just that the Book of Mormon teaches us truth, though it indeed does that. It is not just that the Book of Mormon bears testimony of Christ, though it indeed does that, too. But there is something more. There is a power in the book which will begin to flow into your lives the moment you being a serious study of the book. You will find greater power to resist temptation. You will find the power to avoid deception. You will find the power to stay on the strait and narrow path. The scriptures are called "the words of life" (see D&C 84:85), and nowhere is that more true than it is of the Book of Mormon. When you begin to hunger and thirst after those words, you will find life in greater and greater abundance.”

“Life's journey sometimes takes us on unexpected paths. There are twists and turns in the road that none of us can anticipate. But with each of these twists and turns there is also opportunity—opportunity to choose our response and our plan of action.”

“[T]he world is in need of your help. There are feet to steady, hands to grasp, minds to encourage, hearts to inspire, and souls to save. The blessings of eternity await you. Yours is the privilege to be not spectators but participants on the stage of priesthood service.”

“There is a spiritual early warning system that can help parents in Zion to be watchful and discerning concerning their children. This early warning system applies to children of all ages and contains three basic components: (1) reading and talking about the Book of Mormon with your children, (2) bearing testimony of gospel truths spontaneously with your children, and (3) inviting children as gospel learners to act and not merely be acted upon. Parents who do these things faithfully will be blessed to recognize early signals of spiritual growth in or challenges with their children and be better prepared to receive inspiration to strengthen and help those children.”

“Christ's true followers know they have shortcomings, but they also know that the true Physician heals them. Furthermore, He does not require that they be whole before they come to Him; such a law would exclude all. That realization softens their hearts toward others who struggle with life in a fallen world in different ways than they do.”

“Home is the place where we learn the language of love, where we speak kind words, where hearts are softened, and where thoughts and words and conversation prepare us with the spiritual strength to guard against the threats and influences of the world. Home is where family rules are established, boundaries are set, and "growing up" takes place in a safe environment. It is a place where the boundaries are sometimes tested and the rules questioned, where resistance is tempered and discipline provides for the growing-up process to develop.”

“Let us remember that it was not the waters of Bethesda's pool which healed the impotent man. Rather, his blessing came through the touch of the Master's hand.”

“Jesus did not come to improve God's view of man nearly so much as He came to improve man's view of God and to plead with them to love their Heavenly Father as He has always and will always love them. The plan of God, the power of God, the holiness of God, yes, even the anger and the judgment of God they had occasion to understand. But the love of God, the profound depth of His devotion to His children, they still did not fully know—until Christ came.”

“Concerning your preparation, let me share with you this time-honored advice, which has never been more applicable than it is right now: it is not the number of hours you put in, but what you put in the hours that counts. Have discipline in your preparations. Have checkpoints where you can determine if you're on course. . . . You can't get the jobs of tomorrow until you have the skills of today. Business in the new economy, where the only guarantee is change, brings us to serious preparation.”
