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.

More quotes by Boyd K. Packer
A testimony of the hope of redemption is something which cannot be measured or counted. Jesus Christ is the source of that hope.
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
If you understand the great plan of happiness and follow it, what goes on in the world will not determine your happiness.
Boyd K. Packer
Joseph's vision of the Father and the Son opened this dispensation. Then came the Restoration of the fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ with the same organization that existed in the primitive Church, built upon the foundation of apostles and prophets.
Boyd K. Packer
Dispute not because ye see not, for ye receive no witness until after the trial of your faith.
Boyd K. Packer
Those who choose, conduct, present, and accompany the music may influence the spirit of reverence ... more than a speaker does.
Boyd K. Packer
When music is presented which, however appropriate for other occasions, does not fit the Sabbath, much is lost. . . . The Spirit does not ratify speech nor confirm music which lacks spiritual substance.
Boyd K. Packer
Addiction has the capacity to disconnect the human will and nullify moral agency. It can rob one of the power to decide.
Boyd K. Packer
Thoughts, like water, will stay on course if we make a place for them to go. As you learn to control your thoughts, you can gain courage, conquer fear and have a happy life.
Boyd K. Packer
However common irreverence and profanity become, they are nonetheless wrong
Boyd K. Packer
How grateful we are for you, our youth.
Boyd K. Packer
Do you realize how marvelous it is that you can call upon the Atonement? The Lord effected the Atonement for our sakes. And there isn’t anything that you can’t repent from and that you can’t be rescued from if you will repent and be determined to make the decision.
Boyd K. Packer
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
The guilt that accompanies mistakes can be washed away.
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
Nowhere are the generosity and the kindness and mercy of God more manifest than in repentance.
Boyd K. Packer
If you stumble, rise up, go on.
Boyd K. Packer
Like most things of great worth, knowledge which is of eternal value comes only through personal prayer and pondering. These, joined with fasting and scripture study, will invite impressions and revelations and the whisperings of the Holy Spirit. This provides us with instruction from on high as we learn precept upon precept.
Boyd K. Packer
Your responsibility as a father and a husband transcends any other interest in life.
Boyd K. Packer
At the temple the dust of distraction seems to settle out, the fog and the haze seem to lift, and we can 'see' things that we were not able to see before and find a way through our troubles that we had not previously known.
Boyd K. Packer
