A prominent judge was asked what we, as
Citizens of the countries of the world, could do
To reduce crime and disobedience to law and to
Bring peace and contentment into our lives and
Into our nations. He thoughtfully replied, "I
Would suggest a return to the old-fashioned
Practice of family prayer." - Gordon B. Hinckley


"Get on your knees and pray, then get on your
Feet and work." - Gordon B. Hinckley



Believe in Jesus Christ, our Savior and our Redeemer,
The Son of God, who came to earth and walked the
Dusty roads of Palestine-the Son of God-to teach us
The way of truth and light and salvation, and who, in
One great and glorious act offered an atonement for
Each of us. He opened the way of salvation and
Exaltation for each of us, under which we may go
Forward in the Church and kingdom of God. Be not
Faithless, but believe in the great and wonderful and
Marvelous blessings of the Atonement.
- Gordon B. Hinckley



Our kindness may be the most persuasive argument for that
Which we believe. - Gordon B. Hinckley

"If Life Gets Too Hard To Stand, Kneel." - Gordon B. Hinckley


The time has come for us to stand a little taller, to lift our
Eyes and stretch our minds to a greater comprehension
And understanding of the grand millennial mission of this,
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
- Gordon B. Hinckley

Truly, my dear young friends, you are a chosen generation.
I hope you will never forget it. I hope you will never take it
For granted. I hope there will grow in your hearts an over-
Powering sense of gratitude to God, who has made it possible
For you to come upon the earth in this marvelous season of
The world's history. - Gordon B. Hinckley



Our lives are the only meaningful expression of what we
Believe and in Whom we believe. And the only real wealth,
For any of us, lies in our faith. - Gordon B. Hinckley

"When I say do your best, I mean you're very best. You are
Capable of so much more." - Gordon B. Hinckley



This cause will roll on in majesty and power to fill the
Earth. Doors now closed to the preaching of the gospel
Will be opened. The Almighty, if necessary, may have
To shake the nations to humble them and cause them
To listen to the servants of the living God. Whatever is
Needed will come to pass. - Gordon B. Hinckley

"Life is to be enjoyed, not endured"
- Gordon B. Hinckley

Men and women. - Gordon B. Hinckley

it's your choice." - Gordon B. Hinckley

"Good books are as friends, willing to give to us if we
are willing to make a little effort." - Gordon B. Hinckley


Those who grieve frequently find themselves alone. Missed
is the laughter of children, the commotion of teenagers, and
the tender, loving concern of a departed companion. The
clock ticks more loudly, time passes more slowly, and four
walls can indeed a prison make. I extol those who, with loving
care and compassionate concern, feed the hungry, clothe the
naked, and house the homeless. He who notes the sparrow's
fall will not be unmindful of such service. - Gordon B. Hinckley
Faith in something greater than ourselves enables us to do what
we have said we'll do, to press forward when we are tired or hurt
or afraid, to keep going when the challenge seems overwhelming
and the course is entirely uncertain." - Gordon B. Hinckley

"Try a little harder to be a little better." - Gordon B. Hinckley
