More quotes by Boyd K. Packer
The idea that life began with mortal birth is preposterous. There is no way to explain life if you believe that.
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
If you stumble, rise up, go on.
Boyd K. Packer
Don't live so that your children go unled because of habits that leave you uninspired.
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
The choice of life is not between fame and fortune, nor wealth and poverty, but between good and evil.
Boyd K. Packer
If you have stumbled or even been lost for a time, you can move forward with faith and not wander to and fro in the world any longer.
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
Your responsibility as a father and a husband transcends any other interest in life.
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
No teaching is equal, more spiritually rewarding, or more exalting than that of a mother teaching her children.
Boyd K. Packer
You cannot force spiritual things. A testimony is not thrust upon you it grows. And a testimony is a testimony, and it should be respected, whether it is small or large. We become taller in our testimony like we grow in physical stature and hardly know it is happening, because it comes by growth.
Boyd K. Packer
Parents are with their children almost constantly and can observe when they are ready to be instructed. From questions or behavior or because of experiences in their own lives, they can sense that it is time to teach. Parents must know when the time for the lesson is now, right now, for their children are ready for it.
Boyd K. Packer
Without a knowledge of the gospel plan, transgression seems natural, innocent, even justified.
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
Those who speak of blind obedience may appear to know many things, but they do not understand the doctrines of the gospel. There is an obedience that comes from a knowledge of the truth that transcends any external form of control. We are not obedient because we are blind, we are obedient because we can see.
Boyd K. Packer
If prayer is to leave the public schools, let the ridicule of prayer leave also.
Boyd K. Packer
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
Ordinances and covenants become our credentials for admission into His presence. To worthily receive them is the quest of a lifetime to keep them thereafter is the challenge of mortality.
Boyd K. Packer
The answer is the same for everyone: we must, and we can, resist temptations of any kind.
