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.

More quotes by Boyd K. Packer
The guilt that accompanies mistakes can be washed away.
Boyd K. Packer
God bless you young women and young men who struggle through the worrisome teenage years. Some of you may not yet have found yourselves, but you are not lost, for Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, our Savior and Redeemer.
Boyd K. Packer
Devotion to the family and devotion to the Church are not different and separate things.
Boyd K. Packer
The Spirit is a voice that one feels more than hears.
Boyd K. Packer
The atonement of Christ is not just for those who sin. The mercy of Christ encompasses all pain.
Boyd K. Packer
Teach yourself and teach your families about the gift of the Holy Ghost and the Atonement of Jesus Christ. You will do no greater eternal work than within the walls of your own home.
Boyd K. Packer
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.
Boyd K. Packer
There is a temptation for the writer or the teacher of Church history to want to tell everything, whether it is worthy or faith promoting or not. Some things that are true are not very useful.
Boyd K. Packer
I have a hard time with historians because they idolize the truth. The truth is not uplifting it destroys. I could tell most of the secretaries in the church office building that they are ugly and fat. That would be the truth, but it would hurt and destroy them. Historians should tell only that part of the truth that is inspiring and uplifting.
Boyd K. Packer
Faith is a real power, not just an expression of belief.
Boyd K. Packer
The flak is always the heaviest closest to the target
Boyd K. Packer
Without a knowledge of the gospel plan, transgression seems natural, innocent, even justified.
Boyd K. Packer
The Lord will bless us as we attend to the sacred ordinance work of the temples. Blessings there will not be limited to our temple service. We will be blessed in all of our affairs.
Boyd K. Packer
Seek worthy companions. Attend church faithfully. Never fail daily to seek for help through prayer. And I promise you that the way will be easier and you shall have a composure of mind and a confident attitude toward life and the future. You shall be warned of dangers and shall be guided through the whisperings of the Holy Spirit.
Boyd K. Packer
How grateful we are for you, our youth.
Boyd K. Packer
The power of procreation is not an incidental part of the plan it is the plan of happiness.
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
It was meant to be that life would be a challenge. To suffer some anxiety, some depression, some disappointment, even some failure is normal. Teach our members that if they have a good, miserable day once in a while, or several in a row, to stand steady and face them. Things will straighten out. There is great purpose in our struggle in life.
Boyd K. Packer
Arms now empty will be filled and hearts now hurting from broken dreams and yearning will be healed.
Boyd K. Packer
An organist who has the sensitivity to quietly play prelude music from the hymnbook tempers our feelings and causes us to go over in our minds the lyrics which teach the peaceable things of the kingdom. If we will listen, they are teaching the gospel, for the hymns of the Restoration are, in fact, a course in doctrine!
