Image
Often, very often, we are punished as much by our sins as we are for them.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
If you have seen one of the temples at night, fully lighted, you know what an impressive sight that can be. The house of the Lord, bathed in light, standing out in the darkness, becomes symbolic of the power and the inspiration of the gospel of Jesus Christ standing as a beacon in a world that sinks ever further into spiritual darkness.
Boyd K. Packer

The ultimate effort of everything in the Church is to the end that a father and a mother and their children can be happy at home. If they are happy at home, they are spiritually prepared for whatever should be ahead of them in the world.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
There is also an age-old excuse: “The devil made me do it.” Not so! He can deceive you and mislead you, but he does not have the power to force you or anyone else to transgress or to keep you in transgression.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
Moral standards cannot be changed by battle and cannot be changed by ballot.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
The end of all activity in the church is to see that a man and a woman with their children are happy at home, sealed for eternity.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
It has to be an awfully good meeting to beat having no meeting at all.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
The rapid, sweeping deterioration of values is characterized by a preoccupation-even an obsession-with the procreative act. Abstinence before marriage and fidelity within it are openly scoffed at-marriage and parenthood ridiculed as burdensome, unnecessary. Modesty, a virtue of a refined individual or society, is all but gone.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
There is little to be gained by seeking after the mysteries, for there is hardly time in a lifetime to master the plain and precious things.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
We are not obedient because we are blind, we are obedient because we can see.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
We are not free to break our covenants and escape the consequences.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
We could be like a father determined to provide everything for his family. He devotes every energy to that end and succeeds only then does he discover that what they needed most, to be together as a family, has been neglected. And he reaps sorrow in place of contentment.
