More quotes by Boyd K. Packer
The guilt that accompanies mistakes can be washed away.
Boyd K. Packer
Some things that are true are not very useful.
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
The idea that life began with mortal birth is preposterous. There is no way to explain life if you believe that.
Boyd K. Packer
How grateful we are for you, our youth.
Boyd K. Packer
In or out of marriage, abortion is not an individual choice. At a minimum, three lives are involved.
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
Devotion to the family and devotion to the Church are not different and separate things.
Boyd K. Packer
One who can control his thoughts has conquered himself.
Boyd K. Packer
Nowhere are the generosity and the kindness and mercy of God more manifest than in repentance.

Young men speak about the future because they have no past, and old men speak of the past because they have no future.
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
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
Don't live so that your children go unled because of habits that leave you uninspired.
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
We are not free to break our covenants and escape the consequences.
Boyd K. Packer
Without a knowledge of the gospel plan, transgression seems natural, innocent, even justified.
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
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
The choice of life is not between fame and fortune, nor wealth and poverty, but between good and evil.
Boyd K. Packer
