Don't live so that your children go unled because of habits that leave you uninspired.
Boyd K. Packer
The gift of the Holy Ghost operates equally with men, women, and even little children. It is within this wondrous gift and power that the spiritual remedy to any problem can be found.
Boyd K. Packer
We are able to feel and learn very quickly through music, through art, through poetry some spiritual things that we would otherwise learn very slowly.

Boyd K. Packer
The guilt that accompanies mistakes can be washed away.
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
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
The spiritually starving hesitate to partake of the Spirit like a child's reaction to new and strange food. They must be offered a tiny bite on a spoon.
Boyd K. Packer

Reverence invites Revelation
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
The priesthood holds consummate power. It can protect you from the plague of pornography-and it is a plague-if you are succumbing to its influence. If one is obedient, the priesthood can show how to break a habit and even erase an addiction. Holders of the priesthood have that authority and should employ it to combat evil influences.
Boyd K. Packer
The ultimate purpose of every teaching, every activity in the Church is that parents and their children are happy at home, sealed in an eternal marriage, and linked to their generations.
Boyd K. Packer
Arms now empty will be filled and hearts now hurting from broken dreams and yearning will be healed.
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
Perhaps no other book has been denounced so vigorously by those who have never read it as has the Book of Mormon.
Boyd K. Packer
We accept the responsibility to preach the gospel to every person on earth. And if the question is asked, you mean you are out to convert the entire world? The answer is, 'yes'. We will try to reach every living soul.
Boyd K. Packer
The flak is always the heaviest closest to the target
Boyd K. Packer
Those who choose, conduct, present, and accompany the music may influence the spirit of reverence ... more than a speaker does.
