If you really want to be like the Lord -- more than any thing or anyone else -- you will remember that your adoration of Jesus is best shown by your emulation of Him. Then you will not allow any other love to become more important than love for your companion, your family, and your Creator. You will govern yourself not by someone else's set of rules but by revealed principles of truth. ~ Elder Russell M. Nelson

Just because we may have taken one step down a wrong road is no reason why we have to take two. ~ Richard L. Evans

Sometimes people let their hearts get so set upon things and the honors of this world that they cannot learn the lessons they most need to learn. Simple truths are often rejected in favor of the much less demanding philosophies of men, and this is another cause for the rejection of the prophets. ~ Spencer W. Kimball

It is not God who has given us the spirit of fear; this comes from the adversary. So many of us are fearful of what our peers will say, that we will be looked upon with disdain and criticized if we stand for what is right. But I remind you that "wickedness never was happiness" (Alma 41:10). Evil never was happiness. Sin never was happiness. Happiness lies in the power and the love and the sweet simplicity of the gospel of Jesus Christ. ~ Gordon B. Hinckley

From almost every page of the book, there will come to them a moving testimony that Jesus is indeed the Christ, the Son of the Living God, our Redeemer and Savior. This witness alone will be a sustaining anchor in every storm. ~ Marion G. Romney

Life can and should be a time of happiness, and … we can live happily if we keep the commandments and labor for the happiness of others. ~ Carlos E. Asay

The Holy Ghost will be our constant companion if we submit ourselves to the will of our Father in Heaven, always remembering Him and keeping His commandments. ~ Elder L. Tom Perry

We perhaps need to snatch happiness in little pieces, learning to recognize the elements of happiness and then treasuring them while they last. ~ James E. Faust

Without certitude on the part of believers, a religious cause becomes soft, without muscles, without the driving force that would broaden its influence and capture the hearts and affections of men and women. Theology may be argued over, but personal testimony, coupled with performance, cannot be refuted. ~ Gordon B. Hinckley

It will take study of the word of God. It will take prayer and anxious seeking of the source of all truth. It will take living the gospel, an experiment, if you please, in following the teachings. I do not hesitate to promise, because I know from personal experience, that out of all of this will come, by the power of the Holy Ghost, a conviction, a testimony, a certain knowledge. Many people in the world seem unable to believe that. What they do not realize is that the things of God are understood only by the Spirit of God. There must be effort. There must be humility. There must be prayer. But the results are certain and the testimony is sure. ~ Gordon B. Hinckley

My religion teaches me to embrace all truth in the heavens, on the earth, under the earth, and in the bottomless pit, if there is any there. My creed embraces all truth. If you have truth that I have not, let me know it, and it will come to where it belongs; and if I have truth which you have not, you are welcome to it. There is no need of debate and contention in regard to truth and error, for debate tends to create a spirit of bitterness. ~ Brigham Young

All of us will be tested. And all of us need true friends to love us, to listen to us, to show the way, and to testify the truth to us. ~ Elder Henry B. Eyring

Once we know a spiritual truth we must choose whether we will conform our lives to it. ~ Elder Henry B. Eyring

Every time that I have listened to the counsel of prophets, felt it confirmed in prayer, and then followed it, I have found that I moved toward safety. ~ Elder Henry B. Eyring

A good man is a good man, whether in this church or out of it. ~ President Brigham Young

Prayer surely is the passport to spiritual power. You can pray with purpose when you realize who you are and what Heavenly Father wants you to become. ~ President Thomas S. Monson

As absolute as the certainty that you have in your hearts that tonight will be followed by dawn tomorrow morning, so is my assurance that Jesus Christ is the Savior of mankind, the light that will dispel the darkness of the world, through the gospel restored by direct revelation to the Prophet Joseph Smith. ~ President David O. McKay

We will have genuine joy and happiness only as we learn patience. ~ Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin

Personal testimony is the factor that turns people around in their living as they come into this Church. ~ President Gordon B. Hinckley

Wrong is still wrong even if everyone's doing it. Right is still right even if no one's doing it. ~ Gordon B. Hinckley
