Quotes - Gordon B. Hinckley

  • There is nothing more beautiful, no picture more lovely, than that of a mother with her daughters.
  • In all of living have much of fun and laughter. Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured.
  • Your faith will perform miracles especially when you get your hands and feet involved.

  • We live in the world. We work in the world. But we must rise above the world as we pursue the work of the Lord and seek to build His kingdom in the earth.

  • There is no obstacle to great, no challenge too difficult, if we have faith.
  • Let your children be exposed to great minds, great ideas, everlasting truth, and those things which will build and motivate for good.
  • Teach your children when they are young and small, and never quit. As long as they are in your home, let them be your primary interest.
  • Our kindness may be the most persuasive argument for that which we believe.
  • 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.
  • Be: Grateful, Smart, Involved, Clean, True, Positive, Humble, Still, Prayerful.
